Shadows of the Dead |
The heart hangs heavy |
Of a warrior overcome |
Twigs break beneath my feet |
As I make the long way home |
When the time for duty came |
The fear was clear in their eyes |
Their painful howls will ring |
When they see just I survive |
My kinsmen lay behind me |
Prostrate in open graves |
Cold and still, bereft of life |
The field-of-slaughter's prey |
As daylight wanes and birdsong fades |
I ponder what befell |
Laid back on my bed of leaves |
I curse that I still dwell |
Shadows of the dead |
Bathe the field at sunset |
Echoes of the slain |
Haunt the dawn at daybreak |
As dawn’s embrace approaches |
And breaks my somber dreams |
I call to mind our falling flag |
My brethren’s final screams |
The harrowing sounds of conquest |
Still pierce my troubled soul |
As bent beneath the weight of grief |
I grimly wander on |
Some are born to thrive |
Others doomed to die |
As fate decrees, the threads proclaim |
The path an arrow flies |
A spear-thrust parried or true |
A kingdom saved, or a tribe enslaved |
The web that wyrd will weave |
The outcome fortune deems |
Joys unbound, or a burial mound |
Courage that lasts or fails |
The wind on hostile sails |
Sorrow’s tears or blissful cheers |
