My head is bloody.
My body is full of sores.
My soul is aching with pain.
I have lost my courage.
I have lost my strength.
The enemy is about to cut my head off
and end it all.
I was resigned to my dreadful fate.
But then I saw a light
piercing thru the face of the night
and alas!
I was awakened from my madness.
In the blink of an eye
I held my shield
and got my sword,
struck the enemy
and raised my head
towards the light!
