OF THEM ALL, I ALONE |
Said to the
King, not to go there, Sire! For it would be under fields of fire. OF THEM ALL, I ALONE Did I not say we should be sending in spies? And to be watching in our own court for lies? OF THEM ALL, I ALONE Bid my troops a store of water keep, For in the desert there was not a seep. OF THEM ALL, I ALONE When they came to it not to drink from that creek, But they did, and from pain grown men did weep OF THEM ALL, I ALONE Flogged any man on watch found asleep, Some didn't and of out stores thieves pilfered deep OF THEM ALL, I ALONE I cared for my men like shepards do their sheep, And for lack of trust other regiments were weak OF THEM ALL, I ALONE Shares of treasure mine were spent on armour, Others wasted money on uniforms and bed warmers OF THEM ALL, I ALONE In the battle, I surveyed all from my saddle, Many preffered to get drunk and addled OF THEM ALL, I ALONE My foces careful husband, against the foes be-turbaned, Others sent them in uncaring, they were murdered OF THEM ALL, I ALONE No walls did scale, let the seige engines wail, Many on those heights sure did fail OF THEM ALL, I ALONE Made sure that as we sailed, We took away all that wasn't nailed The Lay of Gutrack the Wise, Orc Warlord and Mercenary to the Zhentarihm and others |
