In centuries yet known
From eons untold
War welcomes the fire
Step forward the bold
A warm hearth to lie by
He pleads do not cry
Tender sorrowful words
A wife’s final goodbye
Her majestic caress
Such loving embrace
Though never again
Will he bask in her grace
The battle horn blows
For the young and the old
Thundering steps beyond counting
They will never truly know
Of furious war misunderstood
If only a King but could
March forward ‘til dawn
A reign forged in blood
The clashing of blades
The bellowing cries
Of countless lives lost
As it rains from the sky
A field of grim death
The battle is won
Kings wrath to wage war
Yet his judgement will come
She stands in the earth
Her fallen love to find
For that was foretold
Cold steel ended his life
She stares upward to find
A Kings gaze meets her eyes
Hollow is his heart
No care in his mind
His final goodbye
From that tender last night
Meant more than a Kings crown
To the passing of time
Very sad, and very beautiful.
