Sworn to Vengeance - Heidra

A ship arrived this morning

A messenger clad in black

Bearing tidings oh so grave

Of my brother’s untimely demise

I stand at the bow of my ship

I must set things right

My men are all behind me

Honour-bound to fight

I feel a great rage within

This is no time to mourn

Blood is surging through me

To vengeance I am sworn

We have left shallow waters

The open sea lies ahead

When we reach the southern coast

We stare into the face of death

And though some may crumble

As death stares right back

My determination cannot falter

I will sound the final attack

A crimson sun on the horizon

The air is freezing cold

My heart is pounding

And in anger I clench my fists

We take to the oars to make it in time

Before the enemy has moved on

The shadow of grief weighs me down

But I will forever push on

We’ve picked up a fresh trail

They cannot be far ahead

When we find those wretched knaves

Our swords will taste their blood

My men follow me without hesitation

Into the lands of the enemy

Out of the ashes, into the fire

We shall end their sorry lives

The enemy approaches from the south

It’s time to meet them head on

And as we make our way into a clearing

Arrows soar and battle is joined

The enemy is upon us

Ferociously they fight

Flailing swords and axes

We defend against their might

I feel a great rage within

This is no time to mourn

Blood is surging through me

To vengeance I am sworn

We must hold on

We can’t fall back

Fighting to gain the upper hand

We strike them hard

We fight with skill

Slaying our way to victory

We must hold on

We can’t fall back

No swordsman unchallenged

We strike them hard

We fight with skill

Slaying our way to victory

I fight my way to their leader

His blood will be mine

I raise my sword for the final strike

My hand guided by the divines

I feel a great rage within

This is no time to mourn

Blood is surging through me

To vengeance I am sworn
