Pride

Epitomizing horror
 Echoes it's bleakest past
 With willimg replication
 Let perspective last
 Breaking deadlocks
 World bleeding inside
 Now the tide is turning
 In ever present pride 

 Strategies executed
 All now beyond defeat
 Analysis, no rise to flaws
 See failure as retreat 

 Rearguard advantage
 Third battle forges close
 Forceful and evasive
 So proud, yet morose
 Seeds of future discord
 Suspicion, fear and hate
 Never lying dormant
 One by one negate 

 No last offensive
 All resistance ceased
 Forced down the final path
 Forwards into peace
