How long did you stare at my shirttails before forgetting my face?
And destroying the foundation of a life I set out for you
A life thought out for your sake, not for mine
I tried to be your hero, tried to ride in with my armour tarnished
With sin and scorn from self lost battles
Wars waged for knowledge, to protect those of my blood
Yet as my back showed so did the cracks
The small lies and promises unintended
And your eyes set sight on the fools
The ones who turned your mind from the truth, and towards their own gain.
I never thought you were the one to fall
So I turn from you again, to the nothing that advances
Not that the sparkling lies would let you notice
Nor the pit you now dwell, let you go
I shall leave with you my armour, now battered and rusted
As this will be the last battle I shall lose
You shall be the last family I shall lose
I never thought you were the one to fall

Submission Name: the one to fall
