Red grass grows tall
drenched

Blades slick with the fallen
The fires lick high

And now we stand in silence
By blood this peace was bought
tainted, afflicted
Yet peace we have
In this, we honour the dead
Precious peace
Such a cost
victory

Penned by my hand on the 9th of Aequitas, in the year 571 AD.
