For the Wishes of Old Men

"Today, we stand as brothers..." "Tomorrow, we bury each other..." Today, we are blood!!! Bound by laughter, forged in trust!!! But in the shadow... creeping slow... Their voices twist us into foes...!!! Old men whisper... and young men fall... Their dreams engraved on graves too small... Their words are knives...!!! Their greed is fire...!!! And we are sharpened...!!! For their desire...!!! Today we stand as brothers...!!! But tomorrow we'll bleed for kings...!!! Bound by the hands of old men’s wishes...!!! We kill for crowns and rusted rings...!!! We drink to peace...!!! Yet choke on war...!!! Our hands once held... now break and claw!!! The youth is spent... in crimson seas...!!! For men who’ll never taste defeat...!!! They feed us lies...!!! They forge our chains...!!! And we are ashes...!!! In their flames...!!! Today we stand as brothers...!!! But tomorrow we'll bleed for kings...!!! Bound by the hands of old men’s wishes...!!! We kill for crowns and rusted rings...!!! March!!! March!!! For nothing...!!! For dust...!!! March!!! March!!! For empires that crumble...!!! For blood that spills...!!! They watch from gilded thrones...!!! As we drown in blood and stone...!!! A thousand voices scream for peace...!!! But the dead only answer to silence...!!! Today we stand as brothers...!!! But tomorrow we'll bleed for kings...!!! Bound by the hands of old men’s wishes...!!! We kill for crowns and rusted rings...!!! Brother... Was it worth it...??? [End]
