Excavated from the wreckage

From the fragments left behind

You were found among the debris

 Sleeping with the dust and scraps

 

You were once so strong and mighty

A courageous man of war

Now you slouch at a crooked angle

Sprawled in the ash and chalk

Sorry about the <p>s. I don't know why they're there. Probably some kind of Teen Ink formatting error.
