Sparks and metal scattering
The battlefield turned to ash
Bolts of arcane flying past
Men vanished within a flash

These men, they cry out to you
Their supplies are falling low
Your enemies approaching 
Surely with more to follow

Emotions blurred with panic
Yet, a plan begins to form
Your fists sweep in a pattern
Energy begins to storm

"Hear those monsters calling you
Dare not heed their awful cries
Hold your weapon at your side
And surge on as magic flies"

You holler as you charge in
In tandem, machine and spell
The enemy still roaring
All is calm. Yes, all is well.

-----

Your laboratory sterile
The room shaking from the blast
You ignore it, you tinker
The work must be finished fast

Those awful beasts towering
Shadows cast upon your Site
Their footsteps swift approaching
You swear you'll put up a fight

Swiftly carving the symbols
As they're banging on your door
Hit the ground, do not cower
Show them what you have in store

You pull the trigger justly
Bullets turn their bones to ash
In the ammo, magic flows
Causing their bodies to mash

Your last attacker, fallen
Long gone, far as you can tell
Rise to your feet with a sigh
All is calm. Yes, all is well.

-----

Our numbers they keep dwindling
Back to them, we do the same
Both our men, now so fatigued
Yet our anger's still aflame 

As tired as we may be
Strategy will win this bout
"For we refuse to meet an end!"
I swear we shall remain stout

Sigils carved into the dirt
Brave men dare not be replaced
As unholy beasts shall rise
Charge straight into dangers faced

Terrible forces raging
With magic's frightening blast
The battlefield preys for death
As your spell begins to cast

Words entwined with [[[fire and hate]]]
Your power and your rage swell
As it is released you grin:
All is calm. Yes, all is well.

-----

Dust awaiting to settle 
The suns light rises once more
Such death, bodies uncounted
I blink my eyes, my bones: sore

The chemist groans to his feet
Healing magic on his mind
The material he gathers
Giving help to all he finds

Between such men, the foreman
Ash covering his steel hands
Raising men back to their feet
Repairing all where he can

So the general lights the cig
Her breath quick and unsteady, 
Rallying us into our place
A speech they all made ready

Their men look to them for aid
Brushing my arm; ashes fell
With tired eyes they call out
"All is calm. Yes, all is well."
