Slechtvalk - Of Slumber And Death lyrics
[Slechtvalk - Of Slumber And Death lyrics]
Our banners raised hihg, we march on
Our Steel glinting in the setting sun
Death can't stop us from achieving victory
When we finished to set up our encampment
I was appointed to be the first to guard
As my men closed their eyes to sleep
I warmed myself at a small fire
Then a deep sleep - overwhelmed me
'He tried so hard to fight it, but he failed'
And then - our enemies approached
But no one noticed them, for all were asleep
Silently they slit their throats
Leaving one alive
Their captain was spared for another day
Suddenly I awaken from my sleep
I call my men for the morning has come
But when I look around me I see them
All slaughtered but I am still alive
I wander between the corpses of my men
Abhorred by this carnage I ask myself
What has happened to my men?
Slowly I return to where the
Castle is, of the king, whom I must tell
Of my failure, the death of his men
I fear the judgement that await's me
