A Warrior's Inner Self

Blood-red cloaks,
light dark armor.
We stand in formation
and await the order.

Stand firm, brothers!
Ready your swords,
And ready your shields!
With corpses we'll litter these fields!

For justice!
For all that is right!
We'll slaughter their ranks
faster than any blight!

Bright gold cloaks,
heavy light armor.
They close in ranks,
defending their former.

As they grew in size
I hadn't realized
That they were us,
only with a cause so just.

They purged us by the hundreds,
We murdered them by the thousands.
We conquered the mighty,
Rulers we were crowned then.

In their quest for repentance,
they faced their darker selves.
We are the subconscious,
the shadows of these elves.

We unleashed our dark passengers
as our bodies hit the floor.
We may have won the battle,
but ultimately lost the war.

This has a great ryhthm and tempo to it. It could make an awesome song lol. The psychological theme of the dark side was well played out; ideals vs. ideals.
