Brotherhood



We inhabit a world of uncertain lines.
Many shades, all complex, who are we to trust?
Cities collapse in an instant and are reinvented in a
World ever-changing, its people the same:
Unstable in body and mind, they live to
Stave off the hands of death.

Allies will stumble and then fall.
We are forgotten by so many, remembered
By so few. A stroll through chaos reveals
The faithful, the small few that
Walk along to hell and back to speak of
The days of our ventures.

For we are nothing without brotherhood,
And brotherhood is nothing without your brothers.
