Beyond Eternity 2 - The Slaughter |
Visions of glory lie ahead |
In my ears rings the king’s old voice |
In exchange for eternity |
Your blood you have to sacrifice |
So many knights will fight for gold |
But I will fight just to be free |
Life is the mightiest God’s gift |
And living is courage’s deed |
The battle raging on all sides |
The butchered men in dying screams |
The blood is painting my calves red |
Who can find God in all of this? |
My cries now wet my bloody face |
As I walk forth and cleave brave men |
Man killing man for power and gold |
I look around with blackened soul |
Over and over memories fly |
Like fervidly rainbows they colour my mind |
They bring me to my knighting day |
When I was given spurs and name |
But there I find a dangerous oath |
That I spoke up so long ago |
It spoke of servitude to a man |
The man who now led us to war |
To hold my oath I cannot skip |
But why do men swear vulgar oaths |
That keep them from correct results |
When their life they try to decide |
From birth I swore to serve a King |
How can I serve a second one |
He granted me a life to live |
And everyone has the same right |
Keep your blood in you |
Stay alive will you |
Fight with death if you |
Have guts left you will |
The arrow fire still decimates |
But finally we win the day |
The ironclad buffoons now smile |
They fight to fight, not when it’s right |
I boldly step to meet the king |
I tell him that my duty’s done |
My country now has been secured |
But further on it is his war |
Possession is the cause of war |
Defence and war two different things |
How could I mix them in the start? |
The one protects, the other kills |
I ride up to a lonely hill |
I see the battlefield dyed red |
Horizons open wide ahead |
I’m not there now — I’m somewhere else! |
