to coming back home

Summary:

A ... poem???

"if we live if we die we know that tonight
we cease to be humans as legends we'll survive"

Notes:

ok, I have no idea what is this. I wanted to write something short, flex some creative muscles. And this came out in like 15 minutes tops. Is this a song? A poem? Someone tell me because I don't know.

It's absolutely unedited because it was a split-second decision to post it and I'm quite sure I'll change some stuff at some point (mostly because I do know where I fucked up) but here it goes. Enjoy!

Work Text:

the moon is low our spirits are high
a night like this happens only once
if we live if we die we know that tonight
we cease to be humans as legends we'll survive

we won't stay at home to watch our gardens grow
we won't settle for pretty lies once more
tonight we go fight tonight we'll get blood
and well just pray that it'll be more theirs than ours

and when the sun comes up to wake up the world
some of us will resist its calling warm glow
and those who will get to live one more day
will lay them to rest in the cold and dark earth

will bring ours home they're alive or not
and we'll tell their families of the brave deeds they've done
for once brother in arms will forever stay so
until we'll unite in the dark earth once more

but for now we have one more task to take on
to sing of our brothers and all they fought for
so that once we all die and take our memories with us
they'll all be remembered for as long the time will last
