“Fallen Hero” Part Three
Three weeks removed from our knight’s return As a storm rolls in, the sky’s fires burn I gaze from my window to the field outside Seeing figures in the rain, of all those that died Loud, electric flashes flood the battlefield below Bringing life to the torture watching crimson blood flow Then a coldness grips hold as there by my side Stands our fallen hero, now stripped of pride Whispering words Sorrowful sighs Screams of Pain Born of lies Together we witness scenes that time cannot mend Reliving this nightmare that never will end For as each shadow falls a tear he sheds For all of his warriors, sacrificed lying dead For in the torment he suffers, alone he must stand As his image again falters and departs from this land But a message he leaves me, an eye for an eye For why alone should I suffer, why… why… why?
