Without thinking too
've decided that you would kill to live
still weak
the hairs on your face when you have the first shot exploded
respected you as a commandment that you had given the orders if it means sacrificing yourself
and those dearest to you have obeyed
the word of your sovereign
there immersed in the mud for hours waiting
enjoying the air, death, the smell
with a bite of food hard to swallow
have endured the horror in this game you fought for
little more than a penny
good choice for a glass of wine
drank to the health of your beloved patron
that you have fulfilled every time you asked forgiveness
knew very well what was your destiny
and almost as if you've waited
a divine gift to die in battle and rot on the ground
honoring a pact in which you gave of being a man
