Homeward - Sojourner

The dust settles

Tumultuous feeling, we rise

Walk the fields in search of our own

Lifeless many lay

So many slain

Our enemies quaked in fear

Our swords drove strong

Barren fields now covered in blood

The battle cry resounded throughout these lands

Weary, we retrieve them all

Prepare them for their journey

Onwards to eternity we send them off

Into the hands of the gods

We now march back to those we love

We sheathe our weapons and begin our journey homeward

Battered, our feet rest firmly in the soil

We look upon the stars, pondering

Green pastures over the horizon, awaiting

Soon it shall come to pass

Destiny encompasses

Broken and battered souls carried away by the wind

Oh, Greatness

The smell of blood no longer lingers

Onward to reward, pursuits of bliss

Lifelong time of battles cease forever

It creeps over the bend

We see

Oh, greatness

It creeps over the bend

We see, we yearn, we deserve

I fall to my knees

Lash out a cry of contentment

Home is where I shall dwell

Battles waged for years and years

Here I shall rest until my dying day
