As the World Burns

Their world now dying
As war still kills and burns
Elite forces gather
Each rises to fight
As they ride into the fire
Upon swift iron steeds
The warriors refuse failure
For their enemy will return
The next morning they come
Battle commences again
They've given battle all day
They're exhausted by night
Each side of battle is tired
Exhaustion that grows
But they respond to need
And victory is their grail
They fight for their home
And should they ever fall
The lives and hope of all
Will then forever pass
Hidden behind the veil
