And now we've gathered for the battles that lie ahead.
|
Rumours of war have reached the borders of our lands.
|
|
From the northern lands our army of the falcon hailed.
|
We pledged our sword to our noble King, to whom our banner we raised.
|
|
He has amassed a great force of such vastness the world has not seen in all times.
|
For a great threat has come to us, the black armies of the Lord of Death.
|
|
As we hailed our old brethren from the western shores, the eastern horse riders arrived.
|
But we saw no sign of our southern kin, we wondered if they already died.
|
|
All captains have joined the King in his pavilion to discuss the war at hand.
|
The light of early dawn already broke the night,
|
when our captain informed us we were going south.
|
|
"Last night a falcon arrived with a message from the southern army,
|
it seems their retreat has been cut off, they now stand with their backs against the wall.
|
If we do not act quickly they will soon be defeated, we must hurry before it's too late.
|
|
If not for them, we would long be dead, now it's time to repay our ancestor's debts."
|
|
If only half of the rumours were true, that would mean we would be sent to a slaughter.
|
Although we don't fear death, we don't want to die in vain.
|
|
"We'll face a great host of enemy soldiers, but don't despair,
|
my noble men, for we don't go to war alone.
|
Our King has a great army coming from the east, we'll meet them along the way."
|
|
We've heard of such an army, but we thought it was just a phantom story,
|
told by crazed old men who lost their wits.
|
But if it's true then victory would be ours for the taking.
|
Now we just wonder, what are we still doing here?
