I've played this game,
seen it before.
It's all the same,
I'll say no more.

Match me if you can,
It's not a scam.
But heed my warning:
There is no walking!

It's run, or Die!
It's sink, or Fly!
It's DO! Not Try!
None have time to cry!

It's hard, I know.
But one must Grow.
Or fall below,
this deadly snow.

My wings are black.
My halo Gold.
If time could crack,
you'd see me Old.

Flown from Heaven,
Crawled from Hell.
In days of seven,
we cast a spell.

To save what we could,
dread that we should.
To stop the war,
and ask for more!

To not be soldier,
but farmer.
To not be holier,
but calmer.

In days of seven ...
We cast a spell.
To stop the war,
and Demand more!

All of us fell!
Our sacrifice ...
None know or tell.
And the price ...

In days of seven ...
We cast a spell.
We walk alone,
cause all can tell:

We're not of Heaven!
We're not of Hell!
We are the ones:
Who Crawled or Fell.
