Warrior Song
What remains when life is gone
And arrows lodge against my heart?
Who will sing the warrior's song,
When now your voice is torn apart?
How do I go on from here
In darkness stark and bare?
I look upon my naked fear,
But you're not here to care.
The sun has set, I stand alone
My warrior shield in shreds;
Your horse has run, now free to roam,
And I face nightmare's dread.
How can I live upon this land
Without the hawk's pure cry?
For I am now a conquered man,
No more does courage fly.
What remains when life is lost
And one I loved is gone;
How can God support this cost,
Who hears your warrior's song?
