The trees fall
And they lose it all
A cold dark night
Spent shivering in fright
A worry for friends
Because no one knows where it ends
They fall from the sky
From a cloud oh so high
And the ground is stained
Because not one death was feigned
Ripped to shreds on a metal contraption
Every single person, every single faction
Disaster had come, but it had not left
Perished for something as little as theft
Because they did not unite, did not stand together
And so they are doomed to fall forever, during the winter’s war.
