Back to Contests

Turmoil by Balian

Merit for June 2009

Fighting back and forth
City versus Forest
Battling until the dawn
Forest versus City

Crusades erupt on Prime
Moving to Cosmic and Ethereal
New alliances are formed
Breaking many old deals

Down and down we go
Into the heart of Conflict
Wavering to and fro
On the brink of Destruction

Friend against Friend
Friend against Foe
Until Foe becomes Friend
And Friend is no more

Down and down we go
Revealing the root of Hate
Disrupting the status quo
On the verge of Despair

Wife versus Husband
Son against his Father
Family turned on Family
Leading lambs to the Slaughter

Down and down we go
Creating more Disarray
Spiralling back and forth
On the cusp of Insanity

Dying to Live
Living to Cry
Fighting to Kill
And Fighting to Die

Down and down we go
Into hiding from the world
Tears no longer flow
We're past the point of Sorrow

Time speeds up
Time slows down
The Fates play their game
While in our Fears we drown

Forever changed is the Basin
There is no going back
Chaos at every corner
Hope is what we lack

Down and down we go
The meaning of War made clear
Losing all Control
Losing everything we hold dear

Retreat into your own
Retreat into your self
Before the wars take their toll
And you bid the world Farewell
