Past whispering fields of corn and wheat,
And sleeping haystacks piled so neat,
Silent footfalls by padded feet,
Measured breaths in time with heart beats,
Dressed in death as the creep,
The shadows hug the mist and sneak,
In the cold night air around the keep,
Inside where soldiers drink and eat,
Guards see nothing in fog so deep,
While outside dark angels climb up the steep,
Grey castle walls to find the meek,
Lord inside on his kingly seat,
Counting the money he took from the weak,
But now’s the time for him to reap,
The future he’s sown for himself, as bleak,
As the tomb inside the dungeon’s deep,
Through his open window they slowly seep,
Tis his purple blood they keenly seek,
With a bright flash of steel, his crimson heat,
Turns white robes red, his life doth leak,
His black cloaked killers, unseen, downward leap,
Into an empty and silent street,
Thus ends a lord for whom no one will weep.
