A war stricken land experiences a fleeting day of peace. |
In the land of Nethal where light and dark warred There lived the Order of the Righteous Sword They fight for freedom against the Darkened Power A grievous force that seeked to devour With choler and sorcery they vexed the land It seemed Nethals doom was hand Then the Order found a magical stone That would make the Powers weakness known One day the Power was subdued Driven off and hotly pursued The Power was dealt a heavy blow And on that day rest quickly flowed It was a peaceful time that began in the Summer Nethal rejoiced to see this wonder For those few hours no one brandished the sword Ruin ceased and no man mourned The day went on with child like glee For a time Nethal was prosperous an free. The bright sun shone with precious freedom Children played in the streets in Nethals kingdom It was a summer day they hoped would last The people prayed it would never pass But then the Darkened Power somehow rose And the next day it returned to make sadness and woe The horror of battle revived with a vengeance And the rejoicing of that day brought to silence Nethal will never forget that Summer day That short time without anguish or fray |
