“Once more into the fray
Into the last good fight I’ll ever know…”
My penance piety does not suffice
As the fray takes toll upon my mortal
As the dagger slices and dices
The fort crumbles…
Hope and pray I be reborn
To dive into the fray one other
To face demons whose fire I stoke
That my soul for peace to have
My heart for ants to feed
Yet death hath become this life I boast
All good fights have come to this
The moment on which I stand
The weapon upon my hand
Broken sheath under my feet
On this day I am born
On this day I die
I must hope and pray
That one day I learn to hope and pray
Eyes gaze beyond the clouds
For an omen I might see
This fort mine blessing and curse.
Immortality it might be
The bright light that cometh my way
Into the last good night I’ll ever see.
“…Live and die on this day
Live and Die on this day.”

Most poems are just poetic, this one paints a vivid and emotional picture… amazing.

Thanks, it was inspired by the fact that it was my birth anniversary then, or, if you like, my birthday

This is one of THE best movies I’ve ever seen. It is so moving in so many ways. The best scene was at the end… once more into the fray!!!

So I am watching The Grey then Liam goes like ‘Once more into the fray…’ then I’m thinking I have heard that before. Boom! It was Kiruga’s birthday poem! Great modification man! I finally get it
