Slain
Gather ‘round, my dearest friends,
Help me to my feet;
Though I am the victor here,
It feels much like defeat.
I slew my competition
Ere I ever felt the pain,
And discovered though I’d won
I also had been slain.
For my Lady’s name and honor
My gauntlet I have cast,
So tell her … tell her …
Before I breathe my last….
Tell her that for her honor
I bravely faced my death,
And her name was on my lips,
Spoken with my last breath.
