Broken Sword, Rotten Shield

Broken sword
Rotten shield
All warriors fall on the field
Old hymns for a broken sword
All lords drink from the sewer
Empty prayers for a rotten shield
The sting of loss remains cruelest
Broken sword, rotten shield
Old hymns, empty prayers
Human disintegration
Erosion of will and devotion
The toll of dedication
The faltering of plate mail armor
Enraptured with the fog of war
And certainty of failure
The sting of loss remains cruelest
Broken sword, rotten shield
Old hymns, empty prayers
All oaths broken
Fallen knight dies
All oaths broken
Fallen knight dies (dies)
