The Thrum

  1. Their muscles are bands of iron,
  2. Their eyes are flames of pure rage,
  3. Their weapons are axes, ropes, and fists,
  4. The snow does not impede them,
  5. They thrive in the summer blaze,
  6. Fifty of them can make an army of two hundred quake in fear,
  7. Lions fear their roars,
  8. Tigers are jealous of their stripes,
  9. The still air cannot fathom their silence,
  10. And when they break their quiet,
  11. Their drums beat and beat and beat,
  12. Such is the song of their battle cry,
  13. Iron wills wielding iron weapons,
  14. The berserkers on the field
