The Red Sky At Night Poem by Liam Hughes

Red sky in the morning
And as the day is dawning
The soldiers begin their mourning
They did not heed the shepherds warning

While they suffer in their plight
After the hard fought fight
And as the skies become less bright
They long for that red sky of night

Their deluded minds they long
For their swords to again belong
In their mighty hands so strong
As they sing their battle song

As they look up to the skies
They call their battle cries
For they see before their eyes
There's no red within the sunrise

As the crimson night does unfold
The soldiers spirit becomes so bold
After the last dice is rolled
Their story will be forever told
