"We Fought and We Fell"

by Karish Narithia

A song, freely sung by all, just please give credit where it's due.

We are the men and the women who died
We saw that freedom prevailed.
We are the children of the mothers who cried
While the mothers of heroes were hailed.
We are the soldiers who fought side by side
While our Doom was surely descried.
And we fought, and we fell, and we suffered through hell.
But our tales, we never will tell.

We held the bridge against longswords and bows
As the children found to a safe place to sleep.
Ten against a hundred to prevent children`s woes
Till they`d crossed and had made towards the keep.
Then our flames licked the bridge and we charged at our foes
As our escape collapsed into the deep.
And we fought, and we fell, and we suffered through hell.
But our tales, we never will tell.

We held the trail on a high mountain pass
As our wounded were tended and healed.
Our unit was retreating from an enemy vast
And three of us only could wield
"The captain must leave us for the unit to last."
We called to them as our fates were sealed.
And we fought, and we fell, and we suffered through hell.
But our tales, we never will tell.

We faced the stones of the tower on high
And charged at our general`s call
We moved our line up and gave forth our cry
That the tower must certainly fall
But arrows still puncture and good men still die
While the siege engines topple the wall.
And we fought, and we fell, and we suffered through hell.
But our tales, we never will tell.

We are the unknown. We are the dead,
Who fell so that others would stand.
We followed our hearts wherever it lead
We were the forts that could not go unmanned.
We gave ourselves up when others had fled
To rid evil and hate from the land.
And we fought, and we fell, and we suffered through hell.
But our tales, we never will tell.

And our leaders proclaim it a victory
And the people they fall to their knees
And beg of the heroes a story
And the heroes give in to the pleas.
And to the living is given the glory
And our death cries fade into the breeze.
And we fought, and we fell, and we suffered through hell.
But our tales, we never will tell.
