This Is War

1st place winner in the contest Thank you sooo much

<sub>A warning to the people
The good and the evil
This is war
To the soldier, the civillian
The martyr, the victim
This is war

It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the Edge of the Earth
It's a brave new world from the last to the first

A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest
This is war
To the leader, the pariah, the victim, the messiah
This is war

I do believe in the light
Raise your hands up to the sky
The fight is done
The war is won
Lift your hands
Towards the sun
The war is won

I believe in nothing
Not the end and not the start
I believe in nothing
Not the earth and not the stars
I believe in nothing
Not the day and not the dark
I believe in nothing
But the beating of our hearts
I believe in nothing
One hundred suns until we part
I believe in nothing
Not in satan, not in god
I believe in nothing
Not in peace and not in war
I believe in nothing
But the truth of who we are

Was going to be a surreal piece for my portfolio at first, but I decided since I got the idea for this picture from this song, I'd enter it in ' contest instead of the picture Sanctuary, because... I just like this one better xD

But my gawd I've never worked so hard on so many scales in my life xD This took so freaking long to make, not to mention how difficult the pose was But I couldn't get the idea out of my head and had to do it nonetheless.

This is my new character Kronos btw I adopted him from here [link] (#5).

He's traveling through time, and views all the wars that have taken place between humans. It saddens him deeply at all of the pain and suffering caused by all the wars, and the inky black darkness of corruption, hate, sorrow, etc are curling out of the scenes where wars are taking place and trying to drag him in, entangling him with it's (metaphorical) tentacles of destruction. They symbolize how no one can escape the effects of war, and every one is affected by them in some way. Which is what the song suggests too, since so many different people are addressed, both opposites and similar people alike, everyone is connected, and everyone is affected by war. Yet he struggles to get out of the never-ending tunnel of darkness, towards a new world, with less fighting, less pain, this brave new world, made by the people who fought so hard for their beliefs and rights. So he keeps moving forward, despite the many forces holding him down, wishing for better times to come.
That's kinda how I interpret the song anyways.

I feel I should wrap this up soon, it's getting to be a very long description.... that hardly anyone will read anyways |D
I'll get a ref and more info on Kronos up when I can c:

Thank you those who read though that, and perhaps listened to the song as well :'D <3 (I edited the lyrics a little to save room, just taking out some of the chorus' that were the same words repeated over and over)
