"Into The Chaos"

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YQgpQ9KuM

Shadows collide, like two armies coming together at war.

I step in line for the cause.

With guns in hand, we storm every village, town, and city.

I seek the truth that lies deep within me; with every firefight, I still can’t see.

The thunder rolls as we march in the night,

Lightning flashes, with explosions like flashlights.

They light our way.

In the embrace of war, I find my own light,

A flicker of hope amidst man's wrath.

This labyrinth of foxholes twists, a maze of despair,

Yet each turn I take leads me closer to grace,

A grace that isn't mine.

In the chaos, I learn to breathe in the air,

Filled with ashes of dead bodies and machines.

To dance with the fear, in a place I no longer know where I am.

The fire of distant farms and villages dusts the background.

Time's on my heels—will I die here?

But from the pain of struggle, new strength will be born

In the eyes of the powers that be.

A warrior forged in the chaos, I will rise!

With every drop of blood, I climb to the throne of victory.

For chaos is not just a bird without wings to flee;

It’s the pulse of a single lifetime,

A canvas of mud and muck that will drape the banners of victory.

So into the chaos, I skydive to the next target.

With courage as armor and truth as my guide,

For in every ending, a path must be forged, right or wrong.

In the wilds of war and chaos, my soul will fly.
