Winter (part 6): The Knight's Brigade (part 2)

Author: Stephen W. Cote

Will you let your words be a whisper?

Let the nobles chain us to the floor?

I'm dying, I'm dying, I won't live anymore.

Do you sing your songs in silence?

Or rumble rebel raves in their ears?

I'm dying, I'm dying, Winter is here.

Tell my wife I love her,

Tell them I have been saved

I've missed my chance for nobility

I'll die in the pauper's grave

Are they dead my friends of battle?

Is that death in the chill out here?

I'm dying, I'm dying, I'll try to have no fear.

Tell my children to be strong,

Tell them I'm now in Heaven,

I gave my life so that they could live,

I was killed by the winter wind.

Is that darkness that creeps before me?

Is that coldness that seeps in my bones?

I'm dying, I'm dying, all I am now is dead.
