The Devil's War
In shadows deep,
where silence weeps,
the devil dances.
With iron fists
and hearts of stone,
he sows the seeds,
sorrow is born.
Fields once green,
now stained with dread,
where laughter died
and hope has fled.
The cries of children,
lost in the night,
an echo the pain
in a fading light.
Men march forth,
fire in their eyes,
bearing the weight of war
and countless goodbyes.
The sound of boots
on shattered ground,
is the dirge of peace,
forever drowned.
In the name of glory,
they fight and they fall,
yet who remembers
the innocent, as they call?
For every victory,
a mother weeps,
while the devil smiles.
Cities crumble,
as shadows grow tall;
the devil's work
is a merciless call.
And in the ruins,
where hope once bloomed,
the ghosts of war
in the silence loom.
So heed the tale
of the devil's game,
for in his laughter,
there’s lies no gain.
A world divided,
in darkness it sways;
war is the devil's work
in a cruel deadly game.
All we want is peace
on this Earth.
