War and death alike
A broken sword for freedom
The black rose of death
Men Die for there country
And share no regret
The death grass grows
All around your decay
A minute of life before bloodshed
The blood drips from the sword
To show there is no end
An everlasting bond
Between man and war
Will show there is no more

Very good use of metaphor and symbolism. Pretty intense.
