Rotting From Within

Two ships
Warships
Rotting from within
Crew aboard
Bored
In times of peace
Dreaming up
Wars
Enemies
Purpose
For warriors
A dying breed
Ref rust keeps creeping from the vessel's core
Bring back the myths of the patriarchs
Looking for a battle
Revival
Looking for a battle
Uniting
Looking for a battle

Two ships
Sinking
Old and atrophied
One spots
Another
Finds an enemy
Water
Seeps through
The gaps that come from age
One ship
Sinks first
One clams the victory

Ref rust keeps creeping from the vessel's core
Bring back the myths of the patriarchs
Looking for a battle
Revival
Looking for a battle
Uniting
Looking for a battle

Pity the
Soldiers
Brought down by peace
Useless
Weapons
Farewell to arms
No heroes
Or myths
To keep wars alive
Pity
The warriors
A dying breed
