The night is still, the campfire slow,
The weight of crowns on brows of snow.
A thousand fates in balance sway—
To rise in dawn, or fall in day.

The maps are spread, the ink runs deep,
Yet shadows dance where doubts may creep.
"Le vin est tiré, il faut le boire,"
The cup is poured! What? Peace or war?

Shall glory bloom with morning’s light,
Or wilt the land in blighted night?
The dice are cast, the swords stand tall,
Yet silence screams behind the wall.

If triumph rings, the fields will laugh,
Gold in the hearth, peace in the staff.
But should the steel in darkness break,
The wolves will feast on sorrow’s sake.

O Fate, whose hand now grips the scale,
Whose breath may lift or crush the sail—
One dawn, one charge, one desperate cry,
To drink the wine… or let it dry.

If it will be too late, maybe we could throw that entity on opponent ship to sink it due to weight.
