Armada

Armada

Drums now shallow
Second chorus up
Thundering footsteps
As they take the pyre
Flames now wrought
As trumpets sing
Together as one
The Armada marches on
By angels hymn
and chaotic chime
One by One
They mark the precipice
Soon the battle joined
As the chorus wraps it up
The third line ready
Atop majestic sight
beyond their gaze
Lie the Army deep
Man and woman, thoughts now joined
Child and Captain
Their voices now do shriek
The battle cry amidst tall ships
Wrapped in clouds
They on do march
To forgotten skies
where battle sings
as cannon, arrow and sling
are drawn across the sky
Volatile the clash, and explosive the surge
At once the Army met
Superior numbers, at their enemies behest
Captain the guns, as they reload
Down goes the flagship
As choir song grows
Moving child to Heart with fervor
He races on, and meets his doom
By Commodores orders, the armada burns
As angels wings are rent
Rent from hinge now aflame
Into blue water, the army falls
As graves of metal make
entomb our heroes final draw
Valiant and remembered, The hymn now finished
The choir burns
alongside the feverous charge
The last ship left
A battleship true
With guns alight, they sink below
True and steady, are their aim
They sink few ships, eternal is their name
At once she blows, a powder round internal
She falls at once
The ships crew set ablaze
Heroes each stalwart one
delayed they have, the enemies advance
As ships on hallowed ground
Make for the clouds and stars beyond
Lost is the city, but her people live
In distant stars
Their Hate now brews revenge
