Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition

As darkness calls
the end of day
In blood and vein
we all will pay.
The dirt encased
with blood so red
the night ruled over
by breath of dead.
No guns just swords
a real fair fight
As rotten bodies
are swallowed by night.
Their stories lost
their faith untold
The warriors die
with hearts of gold
