Warriors
The battle line is drawn, You are either an ally or a foe, As we draw out our battle axes and slay all those against us. The boundary lines are falling for us in pleasant places. Today the dragon falls, And all his seeds goes down with him, We take a stand to spare no-one…… Continue reading Warriors
