An Affair of Honour

Death before dishonour,
Through blood and steel we stand and fight,
Marching forth beneath our banner,
Our swords, meet theirโs, In righteous battle
March forth, To war,
Face to face, endure them,
The endless tides come thick and fast
Thunderous hooves,
The clamour of broken shields
Surrounded, By bloodshed
Yet we fight on.
Gory blades whirl about me,
Arrows soar high above
Its so hard to focus
Try as i might
Bruised and battered
Countless blows against me
My armour holds strong
Keeps me from falling under.
Death before Dishonour,
Through blood and steel we stand and fight,
Facing them in open warfare,
Our swords, meet theirโs, In righteous battle
Amidst the confusion of war.
Two duelists lock blades,
A deadly confrontation
The fates of both men,
Tied to this violent clash
A flurry of silver
Amidst the mud and grass
Flesh and vesture
Is torn and tattered
One more fated blow is struck,
It brings me to the sodden ground.
Shivers throughout me
As i know my time is up.

The Mortal Wound

Blood pouring forth, from this laceration
My skin once flush, turns a snowy white,
Vision fades as the sky above begins to darken
Life slowly drains from this becoming husk.
My sword held firm in my dying grasp
A final Swing at my foe with my terminal strength
Caught of guard, a lucky strike brings him to his knees
In my dying hour i will see him bleed
I will see him bleed!
As bitter cold begins to seep into these mortal forms
We both lay still upon blood sodden earth.
Seconds feel like days amidst the blades of grass
Seeing my bothers fight stood tall above me
There is no greater honour then to die in battle,
To feel deaths sweet sting upon our crusade
My brothers continue the onslaught about our foes
So that they may feel the righteous fury of our blades
So that they may feel the righteous fury of our blades!
In death
We Rest
Eyes shut
Deliver me unto the earth!

It comes for me, upon great broken wings
of feather and bone
Outstretching its hand unto me, ready to take me alone
The mind races as the last drops of blood are leaving my form,
The Sounds of battle no longer pierce the impending silence,
Shadowy forms of both brothers and foes dancing above me,
Though a radiant light cleaves its way through the darkness
Luminous bone, slender but strong, spanning the distance between us
In its grasp, an edge of bright steel, sharp as glare the precedes it.
This skeletal death, the embodiment of ending, now it comes for me
Take me away, to deaths everlasting company!
Im so very cold
I can no longer speak,
Death looms above me,
Take me to my sleep.
I see it before me now, in all of its splendour.
This grand vision of death, come to take me in its arms
I try to move, but its all in vain as my form is no longer
All other feeling has drained from me, yet i still feel its touch!
It comes for me, upon great broken wings
of feather and bone
Outstretching its hand unto me, ready to take me alone

Silence!
Oblivion!
Death take me away, up high, on broken wings above.
My deeds are done upon this earth
Thy blade has had its fill of flesh and blood this day,
It rests with me atop the battleground
I stare into black sunken sockets, that starts back at me,
Its raw bone against my skin, frigid and bare,
Drifting silently across the field of battle,
Thy mortal coil recedes into the fray, with my brothers in arms
Deliver me unto my end
Death take me away
Demise!
Extinction!
