Lyrics;

We are called upon to go to war

Our banners raised high, 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 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 for 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 my king, whom I must tell

of my failure, the death of his men

I fear the judgement that awaits me.
