The Battle

Walking under a clear night sky,
Beneath all of the stars,
A war tears through my soul
Transforming me into the God Mars.

My anger surges forth,
As I strike down my foe,
I drop to a knee
Under the force of a mighty blow.

I strike again,
Rending his heart from his chest,
I reel back in agony...
Taking a moment to rest.

Suddenly reality sets in
And again I fall to a knee,
The realization that the enemy
Has always been me.
