Confession of a Legionary

Death is in the air as the plague of war 

Is set, 

It falls upon us all, snaring us in its 

Net. 

I do not wish to die nor seek to take 

A life, 

But this is not the place for thoughts of 

Pain and strife. 

Come this looming morning I take my 

Sword and shield, 

I become your death, an awesome power 

To wield. 

Face me if you wish but you soon your blood 

Shall  pour, 

The crows shall have their feast and you'll 

Be here no more. 

I've been here thirty days and not yet seen 

My end, 

So I write these words for my confession 

To be sent. 

Every man I kill, their faces haunt my 

Dreams, 

The blood that I have taken could fill the 

Longest streams. 

If we are victorious the cost was far too 

Great, 

So I say a prayer, and leave it up to 

Fate.
