Suddenly every heart stopped at once
And my spear was raised for the last time
I turned to see the field soaked with blood
And none of it yours - it was mine
While I was a victor for one and us all
I found I could not bring myself to move
My cry was not gleeful; 'twas more of a shout
And it was directed towards you
My knees started shaking, my palms followed suit
Your heart was splintered in half
I knew I wasn't going to recover from this
It was all I could do not to laugh
I dropped to the ground, my shield sundered twain
I fell beneath yrch and debts of weight
And though your hands reached out to offer life
You and I both knew it was too late
