And with his sword, he drew a line,
Between the living and the dead.
And from his pocket he drew a note,
Trembling as he read:

Dear God, who loves us still,
To You our lives are rendered.
In freedom's cause, we serve thy will,
Death, but not surrender.

[ryousei]

Some very nice pieces coming around, especially the poetry.
I'll try something different. I hope its obvious enough =).

-----------Begin--------------

Genius, just, brave and virtuous,
The hero died too early.
He desires his return,
The creator grants his wish.
But there must be balance.
So he became depressed,
Because he was made inbred and incapable.

Gaze upon your hearth and fire

Lest high blooded fools
Ride roughshod over poor Bleddyn

The King took his sister to bed
How quickly the rumors spread
That half his son's traits were purple and red
But when the son came to head
The Kingdom's people all said
"Thank God he wasn't inbred"

[Abstraction]
