Poem
Calm sits a valiant man inside of a dungeon In Darkness sits a monk inside of a Monastery And On this night they both share the same thoughts how long God untill I am free from here Footsteps resound down through the hall They Listen as the sound goes back and forth The Valiant man awaits his execution The monk has been put in charge of reading his last rights Now we hear the murmur as the crowd gathers They are laughing and joking with one another The Valiant man smiles because he too finds his death enjoyable It's relaxing I must agree with him And why is the monk so scared of death The Final bell is rung And There dressed in black under the black hood is the executioner He runs his finger down the blade of his ax He looks up here comes the Valiant man And for the first time on the job He is faced with fear His composure faulters His finger slips and droplets of blood Fall from the fresh cut Now there's a battle fuaght inside his mind Because he knows that this execution will torture him forever Silence falls over the crowd This proud look of this mighty warrior Commands respect and they observe it The Monk stumbles but he does not trip up when he speaks My Son are you ready to make peace with your Maker Thank you Father, but me and God have never been in opposition The Monks says You"re what the prophets wrote about When they wrote about Valiant men Son forgive me I am curious How many men did it take to capture you He say's I don't know i killed them all Father look around, I killed every man in the King's army And I would of did it a long time ago If i knew that they was going to reward me by sending me back to my Father Let the peace of God be with you Monk And with those words This worthy man falls to the ground The Executioner can't bring himself to raise the ax And this Valiant man taunts him in the face of death Please do it! I never ask a coward for a favor
