Sand Soldiers Poem by The Jester

Surrounding shadow closes in
The darkness hangs, begins to grow
With eyes that pierce the shields of men
And fire burns each friend and foe
When hope is shattered, all is lost
And stands to make are slow to come
Victory at an unknown cost
All fates begin to lie with one.
But when the blackness winds around
And sears the hearts of brave
A light in lightless places found
With only thoughts to save
Dull stars begin to burn so bright
The darkness pushed away
For at the end of death and fight
The smallest save the day
