**THE LAST SWORD OF THE WARRIOR** Your mighty power of war, You have killed so many men, Have done bloody work, Every swish was a promise of death, Every last breath, was lost, In the moment, as the blade cut A life and hundred of souls are done, than thousand, it’s the end. Now the blade is dark and red, It’s at the top of the highest mountain, A legend of itself, A tale of blood and gore, Warriors are nevermore. But you still hear the whispers, Of silent screams, when you grab the sword, When you swing the blade in the moonshine, You remember all and nothing, Cause in a way war seems devine. Cut the throuht of your enenemy, Destroy your heart with rage, It doesn’t matter, it’s always the same, It’s always an age, Of death and war, of the mighty blade, A sword full of anger and bloody compassion, And honor not forget to mention! But who cuts the men? Who brings them down? Which power is it now? As you lie in the grass, Your breath beomes the last, Defeated by your anger, Destroyed what there was. And still the sowrd is glimming in the fading moonshine, Always remembering of battles that were meant to help, But only offered suffering. I can’t stand this anymore, I take that sword, One last time, Take my soul, Because it was mine. And when I die there, the sword still stands arise, A deadly wish, I see my friends, not my enemies and understand, What I’ve been fighting for, Was to make a stand, To hold of the enemy, That just seeks my blood, gore and wants my life, But couldn’t understand, what am I, what we are! They lost the moment they killed the folk, My friends, my life, my family, Is gone. Still remains the sword, Metal of honor, Meant to bring death and peace, But never, believe it – releaf… Original thread: [https://lowcaliber.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/861101709/m/858109448](https://lowcaliber.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/861101709/m/858109448) ---

Very nice man. :lcc_beer: I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here tho: And when I die there, _the sword still stands arise,_ …and you have some spelling errors. ---

Thank you gents :lcc_smile: Well, Master Impaler, this particular phrase is somehow very hard to interpret, I guess, but I wanted to say, the warrior dies, but still, the sowrd is “alive”, can cut another throut, only time will tell, when that will happen. The tools of destruction prevail, but the destroyers not. For the spelling errors, maybe someone could mark them? Would be very kind. Best wishes and many thanx to you all. And now just for Socket: “Movie, two words…” “First is an H” “Harry?” “Yeah” “Dirty Harry?” “No…” “Harry … a flower… Flowerman Harry?” “Nope.” “Ahh… I GOT IT!” “Really?” “Harry Flowerpot…” “Hmpf” “Harry Potter!!!” ---

Nice poem. I want you to read this one. I translated it as I can so sorry for mistakes; I hope you�ll get the main idea. Author � Michael Lermontov, 1841 **Captive knight** I�m sitting in silence under my dungeon�s window I can see blue skies there Free birds are playing there I feel pain and shame when I see them There isn�t a sinful pray on my mouth There isn�t a lay about my glory I can remember nothing but battles, Heavy sword and iron armor Now I�m in a stone armor Stone helmet is pressing my head My shield is broken My steed is running without me Fast time � is my horse now My cage is my helmet High walls are my armor And gates are my shield So run faster volatile time! New armor is stuffy for me! Death will hold my stirrup I will dismount and cast my helmet away ---

well…here it goes: THE LAST SWORD OF THE WARRIOR Your mighty power of war, You have killed so many men, Have done bloody work, Every swish was a promise of death, Every last breath, was lost, In the moment, as the blade cut A life and hundred of souls are done, than thousand, it’s the end.

But you still hear the whispers, Of silent screams, when you grab the sword, When you swing the blade in the moonshine, You remember all and nothing, Cause in a way war seems divine. Cut the throat of your envenom, Destroy your heart with rage, It doesn’t matter; it’s always the same, It’s always an age, Of death and war, of the mighty blade, A sword full of anger and bloody compassion, And honor not forgets to mention! But who cuts the men? Who brings them down? Which power is it now? As you lie in the grass, Your breath becomes the last, Defeated by your anger, Destroyed what there was. And still the sword is glomming in the fading moonshine, Always remembering of battles that were meant to help, But only offered suffering. I can’t stand this anymore, I take that sword, One last time, Take my soul, Because it was mine. And when I die there, _the sword still standing - arise,_ A deadly wish, I see my friends, not my enemies, and understand, What I’ve been fighting for, Was to make a stand, To hold of the enemy, That just seeks my blood, gore and wants my life, But couldn’t understand, what am I, what we are!

Some of my depressive stuff: **Dust** I look around and see There’s no place for me I ask myself Is it meant to be? I feel the grim wind Freezing my skin Dust flows down the street And the sun’s not rising Black clouds filled The crimson skies I see nothing but despair In people’s eyes I wonder how long There will be no sun From this devastation You cannot run walking deads without souls Trying to get control Under same soulless dolls Money cash hoes Darkness all around Black smoke and this sound Of dust pressing us Are all I have found Life has no power There’s growing a flower But in the sea of dust It would die in an hour Our souls are bleeding Faith is ruining There’s nothing to live for In this way of living Throttling in the dust, We must walk through The lust around us, trust Got lost in the gust Hatered grows fast But everything’s not Lost for us Flowers would last **Desperate** (written as an answer to one russian girl, so the begining may sound weird for ya) Yeah I remember how it always was You feel the pain under the rain You’re desperate because All of these hurts, all of these hates Are amplified in dews And all this laugh inside their eyes Is just despairing you Your fairy dreams and stupid hopes That brought you back to life Are mixed with mud just like your blood Upon the blade of knife And every person who was any intemate to you Laughing with them and only then It’s veritable point of view You’re getting hurt by all these thoughts that you are trying to hide You cannot pass through smoke and gass That throttling you inside Through lack of light, eternal night And darkness on your way You cannot fight you’ve lost your might You cannot break away You’re drowning in the sea of your own blood and tears You try to run away from sun Lost in those stupid fears You see no light, within your life there’s nothing good at all You cannot take all of this ache You’ve got to fall ---
