I thought I was safe,

Behind my castle, my keep.

Yet I find myself worried,

Unable to sleep.

The moon shines bright,

Yet darkness draws near.

The enemy outside my gate;

Relentless, without fear.

But I shall always hold my ground,

And never back away!

It is my duty, an order.

This wave of terror I must delay!

Yet I stare at what's infront;

A sea of men and hate.

Is this what I am to beat back?

This beat beyond my gate?

What really shall I do?

No help will I receive.

Why continue this fight?

There's nothing more I can achieve.

They're coming. I hear it.

Hope. There is no more!

Just surrender your men now,

Be done with this wretched war!

No. I must keep going.

I'll let all the dangers unfold!

For my sovereign, my king,

It is he who I uphold!

My duty, my honor;

Greater than my will to live.

If my country shall last another day,

Then my life I shall gladly give.
