"A Hero Betrayed"
Villanelle

1 He let himself fall, gave into the night
2 For the life of his home he was willing to die
3 A hero betrayed, unable to fight

4 In shock the world stood, watching that light
5 As it faded into darkness, only wondering why
6 He let himself fall, gave into the night

7 His friends understood, we all joined his plight
8 As we waited and watched our deaths drawing nigh
9 Heroes betrayed, unable to fight

10 The pain as he fell from such great height
11 A wrenching so strong as to make the soul cry
12 As he let himself fall, gave into the night

13 I work for the best with all my might
14 I'll come back for him one day, my
15 Hero bedrayed, unable to fight

16 His actions I understand, he did what was right
17 In peace can I rest, with him I can die
18 Because he let himself fall, gave into the night
19 A hero betrayed, unable to fight
