Blood spills
Everywhere
It soaks the ground
It fills the air
The monsters are dead
Lying about
Dead in a instant
No time to shout
I stand strong
Blade in hand
I've come to purify
The sickened land
I burn the bodies
I say a prayer
I ask the gods
To clear the air
The rains come
As I walk home
To find my peace
And rest alone.

That last stanza is my favorite. It's got all the power and paints quite a picture.

Powerful! I like that the air is being filled and then cleared. And now I'm just picturing badass warrior you. <3
