The Lyrics of Soul
By warrioroflight16
Disclamer: I do not own Namco's Soul series, nor do I own the sonnet, 'If We Must Die', by Claude McKay, which this was inspired by.
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an ignominious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their ridicule at our accursed lot.
If we must die, then let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be forced to honor us even though they're dead!
My new friends! We must meet our common foe;
Though far outnumbered, let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one great deathblow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like real heroes we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, maybe dying, but still fighting back!
Because even though all things must say 'hello' and 'goodbye'
The legend, OUR legend, will NEVER DIE!
This was inspired by Claude McKay's If We Must Die, a sonnet written in 1919. Imagine Siegfried ACTUALLY formally became friends with the other characters who are against Soul Edge. Then somehow, they were ambushed by various lizardmen and some of them are really injured. This could be Siegfried's thoughts, before they defeat the lizardmen(Of course!). Notice I used a variation of the line 'The legend will never die'.
And YES, I am still alive. I just haven't been able to finish the next chapter for either my two stories. And I'm starting 2 more, too. Please read and review (It rhymed!).
