He didn't want to sing. Not after this lord just sent his only son left into a battle of which couldn't be won. He knew it was not wise to anger such a high and powerful person let alone someone who was in a state of grieving over elder son whom died. " Well young master do you have a song or not?" "My lord, I'm afraid all my songs are not fit for your state nor your hall," he said. "And who may I inquire gave you permission to judge whether or not your songs are fit for my hall," the lord said anger and annoyance in his voice. "Forgive me it was not my place." He searched for a song. Then it came to him.

Home is behind

The world ahead

And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night!
Until the stars are all aligned

He felt it. He felt the fear, courage and doubt of the soldiers riding forward on their steeds to the enemy. He felt the lord's son determination to prove he was as skilled as his late brother .All this while the lord just sat there and ate.

Mist and shadow

Cloud and shade!

All shall fade

All shall.

Fade

At the last word the enemy fired their arrows. He couldn't feel any courage nor fear and such. Only....coldness and emptiness was there.

"You are dismissed young master," said the lord. "Farewell, my lord."
