Epitaph For the Hero--Lyrel
I spent my life in captivity
one day for every sin
i tried to admonish them
by saving the world of men
but too late for me
i am fallen into death
i fought for repentance
until my last dying breath
and here i lay now
buried in the ground
what my bow and axe did not find
was the peace that i have now found
