The sound of war drums beat in the background
Ten thousand men march toward their destiny
Inspiration given from the loud sound
Not a single man will dare questioning
Drilled and trained to fight hard for their country
Taught to fear none and to cower from none
Front lines occupied with strong infantry
Each soldier immune to the scorching sun
Swords and spears sharpened to the razor tip
Steel plated vessels with broad steel kite shields
Each warrior tightened his iron grip
They marched in their ranks, across golden fields
They will prevail, granting prosperity
Bringing serenity among people

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
