Dying For You
peaceful death waits in courage I die
the castle is sacked not without glory
courage outlasts defeat’s last battle cry
my slain children are proud of my story
surrender is shameful never concede
no tranquil place for cowards in shame
I don’t ask for mercy when my wounds bleed
the rightful cause grants everlasting fame
when my blood is dry and ancestors wait
sacred memories have christened my sword
privilege of death is part of my fate
sacrifice and calling for my dear Lord
stay well sweet maiden hide your tears and pain
then me holding out has not been in vain
