The world looked peaceful and bright as my eyes could see it,
Bathed in her flowing golden hair which mesmerized me every minute.
And the lands that I tilled and tended flourished passively,
Roamed by flocks of animals I nurtured carefully.
Yet the life I cared for vanished in a moment’s rest,
My will was shattered by that invader’s daunting crest.
I fled far back, where I could not see that haunting scene,
But their laughter echoed endlessly in my dreams.
So I took up my arms and swore to serve my lordship;
Blood and death were borne out of my hardship.
And when that day came where I banished the invader
It was the day I became the reaper of all rulers.
