Deserters Dilemma
(Verse 1) In the shadow of the castle, two knights astray, Fleeing from the battle, breaking their sacred day, Their hearts weigh heavy, on a lonesome path to tread, Leaving comrades behind, in a field of impending dead. Their steeds breathe fire, in the moon's cold embrace, Echoes of valor, lost without a trace, The wind whispers secrets of the battle's rage, But the nightfall's silence, is their ultimate stage. (Chorus) Sacrificial pawns, in the game of kings, Betrayed by the hand that fate flings, Their souls now wandering, in the echoes of the slain, Forever bound, by the guilt of the chain. (Verse 2) Their eyes, once gleaming with honor's light, Now mirror the darkness of a moonless night, They swore an oath, to stand and to fight, But destiny's twist, led them into this plight. The cries of the fallen, a haunting refrain, In the symphony of war, they've become the bane, Their hearts are torn, between right and wrong, Two knights who live, with a silent, mournful song. (Chorus) Sacrificial pawns, in the dance of death, Their valor turned to a hollow breath, Their names forgotten, in the annals of time, A tale of valor, and the guilt that's left behind. (Bridge) The strings of fate, pulled tight and stark, A symphony of steel, a tragic lark, Their shields cast down, in the dust they lay, Caught in the crossfire, of a war's dismay. Their swords, once proud, now silent and still, Their battle cries, lost in the night's chill, Their dreams of honor, a fading rill, In the shadow of a sacrifice, against their will. (Verse 3) Through the thorns of doubt, they ride alone, Their armor scarred, their hearts thrown, In the quest for peace, from the battle's drone, They search for redemption, in a land of stone. The heavens weep, for the knights who fled, Their valor now, forever wed, To the whispers of the wind, and the moon's red thread, A bond of brotherhood, to the ones they led. (Chorus) Sacrificial pawns, in the war's grand scheme, Survivors of a battle, a tragic theme, Their lives forever scarred, by the loss they've seen, Their hearts forevermore, a burdened queen. (Outro) In the halls of the forgotten, their armor hangs, A tapestry of sorrow, of battles lost and sangs, Two knights who chose, to live and bear the weight, Of the guilt and the hate, that sealed their fate. Sacrificial pawns, in the game of the divine, Condemned to roam, 'neath the crimson skyline, Their tale of treachery, forever to entwine, With the silent whispers of the battle's final chime.
