Dawn of Roses

Desolate and unhallowed

A field of corpses stretches to the horizon

Grey and scorched black

A wretched stench fills the air

There are no gods here

Only the souls of the fallen

Crying out in fear and pain

War has cursed this place

Where roses once bloomed

Now maggots and rot takes their place

On this desecrated soil

Can hope be found again?

Can roses bloom once more?
