They sent out the sentries <br />they sent out the guards <br />they send out all the armored horses <br />and the steel covered men <br />and soon the battle began <br />and when it was done <br />there were none <br />The blood flowed <br />and formed a river <br />that turned into an empty sea <br />the day you turned away from me. <br /> <br />Just the thought of your name <br />I know I'll never be the same <br />the most beautiful love I ever felt <br />was in vain <br />the blood turned to mud <br />but left a red stain <br />bleached by the sun <br />cleansed by the rain <br />but the truth of it all <br />is only known above <br />as the sky darkens and clenches <br />like a big fist in a black leather glove <br />Still....all I know of is love<br /><br />JAMES T.
