They came riding at first light
|
Fifty men armed to the teeth
|
The sounding horn called us out to fight
|
We went to meet them with our steel
|
|
Outnumbered yet we fought
|
But soon we were overrun
|
We took refuge in our home
|
Our downfall had just begun
|
|
They attacked our home, we kept them out
|
Defending ourselves with spear and bow
|
We took them out one by one
|
As the rising autumn sun glowed
|
|
There was twenty dead on each side
|
When we first smelled something burn
|
We heard them laughing from outside
|
Taunting us with spiteful words
|
|
They set the house on fire
|
In order to smoke us out
|
Only five of us were still alive
|
And our time was running out
|
|
Raging flames surrounded us all
|
Our home was under siege
|
Crumbling roof and burning walls
|
There was no way to break free
|
|
As we were all about to die
|
We swore a sacred oath
|
Revenge would be claimed if someone survived
|
And we sealed the oath in blood
|
|
The roof caved in and cleared a path
|
A way out of the flames
|
It was decided that I'd go first
|
As we made for our escaped
|
|
Suddenly the walls came down
|
And trapped the rest inside
|
My closest friends died that day
|
Only I made it out alive
