The Captain's Tale

And the battle was joined many years ago
I remember well
Steel would clash and the blood would flow
And many heroes fell

I still hear the words
My captain said to me
'We'll soon attack, so watch your back
And follow me to victory'

We marched all day, and through the night
To an enemy unknown
And come the morning we'd have to fight
Maybe leave a parting groan

We fought the hordes
We fought them well and then we fought again
And the women cried, for the ones who dies
But no-one cried for them

Chaos reigned in the battle long
Friend and foe both fell
Many a light burned out and died
Too many to ever tell

And then we heard it:
The sweetest sound to a warrior's ear
The sound of hooves, with a name to prove
The enemy of fear

Then my friends, the battle turned
The enemy lost heart
Bodies fell and the standards burned
My captain forged a path

And with a cry we stumbled forward
As new spirit took us in
And with my blade, a path I made
Never thinking of my sin

Yes my friends, I've come to know
This is not the only way
Trust a man who's seen more
Than I could ever say

I still hear the words
My captain tried to say
As he lay wounded, he said 'I never did
Think it'd end this way'

'not today'

'Not this way'

I still hear the words
My captain tried to say
As he lay wounded, he said 'I never did
Think it'd end this way'
