The Enemy So Bold

The day turns into night, the enemy's in sight

They make their way to the village and they burn it, hear the cries?

The mothers in their homes, they burn and turn to stone

You cannot cope, end up jumping in the moat

The madness will not stop, they burn all the crops

A legion of opposing knights confronts them at the town

Swinging flails then your face goes pale

The famine has begun, your whole family looks frail

Deserters will be thrown in jail, insurgency has failed

Lock you in the deepest dungeon, malnourishment prevails

What's left of your home resembles coal

The wind blows cold as you lose hope

The true scope, the bodies froze

Death throes as your heart slows

Destined for protection from the enemy so bold

We march towards the corrupt kingdom and raid their keep for gold

I have no doubt in mind, I know that we'll prevail

We march towards uncertainty, our families in our prayers

Children cry out for fathers and those that we lost in the fight

They lay rotting in the field amongst the death and plight

Heavens encircle our keep and protecting us from death

Protect my family in my heart until my final breath
