Let down your guns
Let down your shields and hide your spikes
Sheathe the sword
For the wind has changed
For the armours once so sheen
Have chinks in them
Call back your cry
Call back the men you sent to field
Console their wives
As the sun has turned
As the gods you warred
gave shambles
In return
Say your prayers and ask for truce
Cross your heart and swear for truth.
You’ve given castles at the promised land
But with a heart as cold has snow
You fight your hoard away,
Heading stone-blind down below
Stand off from row
Stand off from cursing at the skies
Take a bow
For battles are lost
For strongholds bereaved, all sanctums
Burnt to dust
Look at your folks
Look at them plea,
let go of wrath
And gather stones
Build a shrine between the woods,
Carry water, grow new roots
You’re given treasures in the form of trees
And lakes across your lands
That’s only valued in
One’s true and rightful hands
