War from Geardagum by Karmic Ashes

No lengthy explanation needed given the title, and although I imagined this as ancient/medieval warfare of a mythical type, I believe that war only changes with respect to man's efficiency at carrying it out and the scale of horror it creates, as evidenced by the egregious wars of the twentieth century. The ending lines characterize a half-shamanic, half-Faustian resurrection, metaphorically framing the warrior and war as eternal and unspecific; soldiers wear many masks, wave many flags, and fight for many causes, yet all return to death, and more always arise to take their place, bearing kingdoms on their backs.
