lirik lagu shadows of the dead – forefather
the heart hangs heavy
of a warrior overcome
twigs break beneath my feet
as i make the long way home
when the time for duty came
the fear was clear in their eyes
their painful howls will ring
when they see just i survive
my kinsmen lay behind me
prostrate in open graves
cold and still, bereft of life
the field-of-slaughter’s prey
as daylight wanes and birdsong fades
i ponder what befell
laid back on my bed of leaves
i curse that i still dwell
shadows of the dead
bathe the field at sunset
echoes of the slain
haunt the dawn at daybreak
as dawn’s embrace approaches
and breaks my somber dreams
i call to mind our falling flag
my brethren’s final screams
the harrowing sounds of conquest
still pierce my troubled soul
as bent beneath the weight of grief
i grimly wander on
some are born to thrive
others doomed to die
as fate decrees, the threads proclaim
the path an arrow flies
a spear-thrust parried or true
a kingdom saved, or a tribe enslaved
the web that wyrd will weave
the outcome fortune deems
joys unbound, or a burial mound
courage that lasts or fails
the wind on hostile sails
sorrow’s tears or blissful cheers
