Neighbours hesitant in a small town

Ears encounter

Pounding of sound

Diamonds permitted to jog into combat

Manners affected

Ringing of contact

Addicted

To the chaos

Youths in killing pain

Black curtain

Strain

Bloody roads take heroes home

Throaty marshes decided what was fair

Rivals arose

Fell from from the air

Nicknames reside in narrow ridges

Diamonds claimed

Met in ditches

Recognize

The consequence

Fields of family trees

Black curtain

Victory.
