There Is No Death

Death! Death is the cry on my lips

As I spur forth my steed

And with lowered lance

I charge the field!

There is no death for the brave

There is no defeat for me!

There is no death for me today

I am invincible in the fray!

Tears blind my eyes

Blood drips down my brow

Pain rakes my body

Yet strength is mine!

My knees don't know how to kneel

My head turns only to the sky

My face has come to love the lash

Of the biting northern wind...

There is no death for the brave

There is no defeat for me!

There is no death for me today

I am invincible in the fray!

Alone I face a hundred or more

Alone as before, alone as I've always stood

On a wide field never meant for me

Know I'll give it all...

And die standing...

When my feet no longer hold

I'll chain myself to the rock

So that they find me upright

Defiant to the last!
