Field Of Sorrow

The memory lingers on of the arrival of dawn
They saw the beacon aflame
Burning with sorrow for the lives that would be lost
And the troops went ashore
Sounds of drums filled the air
Towards the city they marched.

Called all the young ones, called the old
Summoned the people to stand up and be bold.

Fight a superior force for high society
Sheltered behind the walls
Holding the riches that forever could be lost
Outside the city gates
The peasant army fights on
Towards their imminent doom.

Cross the Field of Sorrow children's soul still cry
As an echo from the blackened day
Cross the Field of Sorrow
There are whispers and sighs
From burning anguish and dismay.

From the protection of walls
Beheld the blood stained plains
Reeking of sacrifice's shame
Children and cripples of the battle that was lost
Trembling hands open the gates
For the extortion of fire
As they had nowhere to hide.

Fill up the barrels and chests with all your gold
Build me a throne to rest upon
Fear not the fate of the fallen
Hear not the cries of the crows.

And so they sailed off with the gold.

In the midst of the sea
They were caught by a storm
Both booty and crew's lying deep.
