ОглавлениеThe Last Knight of Fantaellen
An ode to a warrior
An ordinary man
He is an ordinary man,
A father, a son, a brother,
A man of this life,
A man of the next life,
He is of this world, and another,
He is alive, he has died,
He is yet to be born,
He is all men, yet one man.
On this day of his destiny,
He stands alone.
Around him, a battlefield,
In his hand, his bloodied sword,
having sent many, to their death,
His armour, having defended
against an enemy, so brutal,
and great in numbers,
And yet, he still stands alone.
He is an ordinary man,
A father, a son, a brother,
A man of this life,
A man of the next life,
He is of this world, and another,
He is alive, he has died,
He is yet to be born,
He is all men, yet one man.
On this day of his destiny,
He still stands alone.
Around him, a battlefield,
Seen or unseen, he knows
the enemy surround him,
Therefore, his defiance is roared
long and loud,
He now no longer, feels alone.
This ordinary man is ready,
This father, this son, this brother,
The man of this life,
The man of the next life,
The man of this world and another,
He is alive, not dead,
He has been born,
He is all men, yet one man.
He is ready.
And, into the storm he charged,
with sword in hand,
That one-man war,
The last knight of Fantaellen.
