A Hero's Lament



The veteran of legends;

The savior once sent;

No cries were heard

Of a hero's lament.



The blade now retired;

The shield laid to rest;

The death of adventure

To a hero's old quest.



Life after life

Of innocence lost;

The fate of a people

At a hero's high cost.



The downfall of evil;

The liberation of light;

All things remembered

Of a hero's proud might.



The closing of doors

Where the broad sword still lies;

No sign of regret

From a hero's sad eyes.



From the highest of mountains

To the deepest of seas,

No echoes were heard

Of a hero's shrill pleas.



The adventure was over

And the legend gained age,

But no tale would speak

Of a hero's wild rage.



From the streets of the market

To the proud palace hall,

No person would whisper

Of the hero's harsh fall.



The fairy tale ended,

The adoration was spent,

But still no one heard

Of a hero's lament.
