Would you like me to weave a tale, to tell a lie?
Should I kill or should I rather die?
Foolishly down I fall, label of martyr.
My sword I wave, label of victor.
Flip of a coin, head or tails.
Head held high or strung up on a pole?
Cut off tails or run away with my own?
War is a story full of gore.
Blood and lust twined in quite the fine prose.
A tale of heroic tragedy,
Told by you.
A dozen of battle stories,
Told by me.
Alas my darling,
Do tell which it shall be?
