This Dragon War Ongoing

So many lives have been given for others to survive, farewells made, in war
A campaign ongoing, with the slaughter beyond the mind's ability to take in
Courage is not limited to the humans, nor violence and hate of dragonkind
Wars are never polite, nor will species extinction be an equals compromise
The dragons filled the skies, bringing our death with their thunder and fires
We have chosen to endure, to survive the onslaught, to save our children
Now our most holy lands are held from our eyes, defended by their kind
We must prevail, for our survival or extinction is not for others to decide
The dragonkind knows, if we give in, our human future cannot be found
We shall fight, there's no choice, for if we fail, there are no tomorrows
