Le Poème (en anglais)
It's barren
the air chokes; on dust and smoke
the ground cracks; surrending to the heat
It's lonely
with only the dead as compagny,
but anymore, this has become his closest companion;
death
There was once a purpose to all of this;
a specific design
Soldiers sent forth in the name of retribution
In their path; an alien covenant
vast in number
ardent in their belief
Now, but one stands
Only one; survivor
His friends taken by conflict
Their adversaries delivered unto
Alone now, he treks the wastelands
cut off; stranded
Knowing somewhere above;
Out and beyond
His brothers, his sisters, continue to struggle
Continue to fight, to die;
to strive
A million stars between here and home
A million ennemies; more
Yet here he stands, ever vigilant
And here he'll stay;
A lone warrior, on a desolate plain
