Fatal Oath
I've come to meet my death in time of war
To fiercely fight and die with shattered sword
A conquering King comes that I abhor
Alone I stand as my end comes towards
There will be no pause in this bitter fight
They'll come at night like a gathering storm
And leave me naked, but a sense of right
With dripping blood in a Nightmare's firestorm
The King once a friend slowed his pace 'till dawn
Finds he was too late to execute my doom
His anger tortured I've quietly gone
With my final breath, my body did consume
With bloodless edge now pulled to curse my name
Falls on his sword his oath once sworn to blame
