Looming
With the end so closely looming
The war so near it's booming
Which side will you choose
Because both will soon lose
All will be dragged to hell
Waiting to hear that bell
To show that they are lost
So was it worth the cost
To fight for something so small
Not even worth much at all
I watch on high for this end
Knowing that nothing will mend
After your dead none will cry
Though some may wonder why
This loss was brought to be
They are the ones who do see
That all loss could be taken
Away and all else forsaken
To slink away and try to hide
Knowing that there is no side
That will win in this war
So what are we fighting for
End this bloodshed and stand
For your people and your land
Stay and refuse to fight
Let others join in your light
The fighting will soon cease in time
And those who don't pay for their crimes
With the end coming quite soon
Look towards a blood moon
For blood has been shed this night
Even at the end of this plight
