Rivers Run Red

By LOKI

In another world
place and time
When men were gods
and women divine
Worlds collided
for the sake of land
and so began the reign of man

New worlds were conquered
and innocent's were slayed
A plague of death
that brought suffering and pain
War was rich
with the blood of men
Death conquered all
and the rivers ran red
