Night Attack

A cycle of poems «Chasing a Werewolf»

Shadows creep, a silent tide
Moon a sliver, nowhere to hide
Stars like embers, cold and bright
Darkness falls, a cloak of night
Whispers rise, a chilling breeze
Footsteps soft, among the trees
The enemy waits, in the pale moonlight
For the signal, to begin the fight

Night attack, a sudden blow
Shattering peace, a whispered woe
Steel on steel, a clash of sound
In the darkness, where shadows abound
Night attack, a desperate plea
For freedom's dawn, for victory
We rise as one, with hearts ablaze
In the midnight hour, we fight the maze

Arrows fly, a feathered rain
Blades flash bright, in moonlit stain
Cries of war, a battle cry
Under the stars, we fight and die
Courage burns, a flickering flame
In the face of fear, we speak their name
The fallen heroes, never to be forgot
Their sacrifice, a price we've bought

Night attack, a sudden blow
Shattering peace, a whispered woe
Steel on steel, a clash of sound
In the darkness, where shadows abound
Night attack, a desperate plea
For freedom's dawn, for victory
We rise as one, with hearts ablaze
In the midnight hour, we fight the maze

Through the long night, the battle rages
Hope and fear, on both our stages
But dawn will break, a golden ray
Chasing shadows, and starting a new day

Night attack, a sudden blow
Shattering peace, a whispered woe
Steel on steel, a clash of sound
In the darkness, where shadows abound
Night attack, a desperate plea
For freedom's dawn, for victory
We rise as one, with hearts ablaze
In the midnight hour, we fight the maze

Night attack, the fight is done
Victory won, the battle won
Under the stars, we stand so tall
The night attack, answered freedom's call.
