Hi Stone Birds! It's been a while since I've "seen" you here!

One comment: when I imagine a battlefield, I don't imagine anyone waiting. On the *way* to the battlefield, people may be waiting for or eager for blood. Once on the battlefield, I imagine people actively hungering for blood and slaughtering others to make their blood flow. "Waiting" sounds very passive.

Second comment: Humans are actually quite a bit like packs of dogs, only scarier. I would say humans are worse than dogs.

And wild hogs are worse than both, other than that I agree with your post.

"Saviour"
 
take it all away from me
i can't stand the sight of this
the movements are so out of mind
and i'm just too aligned

oh my dear
i'm lost in the woods
oh my love
i've got no signal

i've got no compass to point me home
but i hear you from around the bend

oh my dear
i'm lost in the woods
oh my love
i've got no signal

(oh thank go, oh thank god you found me)
may i lay in your arms
i almost gave up
i'm so glad you found me

you are no god but you're my saviour

I really like it as a piece of poetry, but I think it is a little too much "pure poetry" for a song. Poetry lets your mind fill in the empty blanks, but song writing needs a little more information in between to help it flow. For example (We cross our hands, a shadowy figure) I think there is too big of a gap in between the subject matter. A way to make it flow better could go something like this.....As we crossed hands we gazed upon cascading shadows lit by the amber sun. Thats just off the top of my head but I'm not trying to criticize, just trying to open your mind a little bit.
