Epic (the Legend Retold)

Riding down a narrow path
A world I’ll never know
Reflecting on my storied life
The world could never know
Just a soldier
Fighting for a cause
Unrewarded
Blood on hands
Passing through the memories
With sorrow in my heart
I need to see the world again
The way it used to be
Just a victim
I screamed all that night
Unresponsive
To the tale I wish to tell
There’s the one who took my head
So many years ago
Why does he run from me
I feel but I can’t see
All alone now
I beg of you
Hear my story
I’m dying inside
Rendered breathless
Arms at my side
Rendered helpless
Raped of my pride
Senseless victim
I served my time
I fought beside you
Betrayed for lies
The blade that slayed me
Was my own
Just like judas
I was betrayed
Now you see
See my side
Who do you believe now?
All the cries! All the cries!
Won’t you now see me die?
Slowly now for years to come
