Age of Suffering

A legendary song sung by the Dark Knight`s Amazon Slayers as they marched into battle. According to rumours, it was a request to the ancient Cornish Lords for strength and luck in combat.

Age of Suffering

 

Glory!

We shall bear its weight together, through blood and sores!

One invincible force, we are the dominant power, brothers all!

An everlasting glory, our enemies will cringe in the oblivion`s darkness!

We shall banish our foes to the depths of the devil`s realm, brothers all!

Valour!

We will achieve it together, through sweat and struggle!

We, the wandering retaliation of mankind, brothers all!

As we march, our oppressors will tremble at the sight of our supremacy!

Death to the weak, their inferiority they shall experience, brothers all!

Terror!

We shall inflict it in the eyes of our invaders, through death and destruction!

The walking face of death, we are the army`s proudest, brothers all!

Fleeing like scalded dogs, the enemy shall find no comfort!

At the tip of our arms, they shall feel our wrath, brothers all!

Victory!

Nothing less expected, we shall embrace it through our cohesion!

Down with the evil, the Age of Suffering shall be quelled, brothers all!

The ultimate victors, we forge our triumph from the flames of this war!

Greeting our leaders on the awaited homecoming, we shall salute, brothers all!

Peace!

The greatest achievement, we shall celebrate it through a lasting harmony!

With the vicious driven out, we will maintain order, brothers all!

Warriors of the Inner Council, the brethren all brothers look up to, these men we shall follow!

Leading us to greater glory, the peace they will secure, brothers all!

It would be heart pounding song if we sung along, knowing the melody and music.

Nice writing, though I do not know who the Knight is.

Great.

[Daniel-Andre]

Thank you for stopping by, man! And I`m glad to see that you enjoyed it. About the knight, it`s simply just a picture that`s supposed to give a hint to what kind of age and enviroment this poem takes place in. However, the picture in itself is from a video game called For Honor, though I haven`t played it myself :p In any case, thanks for stopping by!

[Maria]

Wow, never heard of this, and its truly great. Thanks for sharing

[Daniel-Andre]

I`m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your words :)

[tanmay7551]

Very inspiring and I will say a mast read before any sorts of battle! Good job.

[Daniel-Andre]

Thank you very much, sir. Glad to see that you enjoyed it! :)

[costa siwale]

very energetic and imaginative, i swear i was in those battle ranks roaring and hailing. Goddamn! GLORY indeed.

[Daniel-Andre]

Your words are uplifting, after all, I intended to make the readers feel like they were a part of those marching ranks. So it`s nice to hear this from you. All hail the Amazon Slayers, all kneel before the Dark Knight!

[costa siwale]

sure thing. well written

[JordanBaker]

I actually read the whole poem like i was really marching with these warriors. Damn, that's powerful. I love that the words you used are friendly..which means to say not highfaluting. What more can i say? I think this piece deserves to be used in a speech choir or something. It would be awesome. Good job Daniel.


Also, it's ironic how peace is attained through war and destruction...that thought is poetic to me.

[Daniel-Andre]

Thank you so much, though,deserves to be used in a speech? Haha, your words warm my heart but, I don`t think I`m there yet :p After all, I`ve just been writing in English for two years. xD In any case, thank you for your kindness and I`m glad you liked it. Nothing`s better :)

[Ara Mosby]

Your words speak with strength and conviction. I love the power of your word choice, and the message is not lost. "brothers all!" - I like this.

[Daniel-Andre]

Nice hearing from you! And I`m glad you find my writing to your liking. Thank you for your support, uplifting words are always good :)

[EdgarAllanPoet]

Great poem. It is very powerful. Like the way you punctuated each stanza.

[Daniel-Andre]

Many thanks, sir. Glad you enjoyed this read, and please have a good one :)

[Silmara McGarry]

Powerful read! I really enjoy it! And I liked the way you divided and titled the stanzas in 5 parts, leaving peace, for last. Well Done! :-) Sil

[Daniel-Andre]

Thank you very much, I`m glad you pointed out the little system I had created. Shows my efforts pays off. Have a good one :)

[Silmara McGarry]

You are most welcome! :-)

Daniel-Andre..I really liked this poem, as it is different from my own style. But I like the forcefulness in which you alluded to to drive out 'evil'! I think it resonates wonderfully with today's world. Not to mention that the mother of my son is Norwegian, and so, I was introduced a little bit to the Nordic culture. Thank you. (=

[Daniel-Andre]

Thanks for the review, good sir! And I salute you for picking a Norwegian woman, gotta tell ya, you made a good choice right there. :p As it comes to the writing, I`m glad you liked it. As I`ve said to the others, this is just the tip of the iceberg. More`s on the way, though I`m not entirely sure when, but it`ll come, that I promise. Until then, just stay tuned and wait for me to review some of your work as well :)

[Ashwin Shanker]

It didn't invoke a passionate feeling in me :/ ...
Or maybe it is just me.

[Daniel-Andre]

Can`t blame you, man. Remember, writing is art, and art is about personal taste. :) What you like might not fall in the same taste for others and the same goes the other way around. I respect your opinion, sir. The fact that you dare to speak your mind is astonishing, most people with a "negative" opinion tends to keep their mouths shut. I salute you, sir. May fortune favor you!

[Ashwin Shanker]

Yeah Daniel... I thought five times before writing this. I thought lets not write at all.. But then,...

[Daniel-Andre]

exactly, but don`t be afraid to speak your mind, dude. Being able to do that is really important, not just here but in many different situations.
