Sea of Steel

Iron within sharpens iron without

Stream of swords to the redoubt

Climb the piles of the dead

Up on the enemy walls we bled

Swing of sword and thrust of lance

Steel adorned in battle's dance

Ax to the limbs and bodies on spears

Air reeks of blood and fear

Events for the chroniclers lore

Tales of glory and gore

Cyclical since the empire fell

Abandoned cities and rural hells

Invaders from the South and East

Bloated eagle's corpse they'll feast

Before the restoration age

Die before history turned its page

Wars that seek to never end

As battle tears, tips, and rends
