  12.  
  13.                         I stand alone
  14.                         on bloodsoaked field
  15.                         at cloudwet dawn.
  16.  
  17.                         Twelve thousand men at arms.
  18.                         Each with a lance, a saber, or bow
  19.                         silently marching.
  20.  
  21.                         No sound comes
  22.                         from shield
  23.                         or spur
  24.                         or link of mail.
  25.  
  26.                         Marching toward me.
  27.                         Marching, marching.
  28.  
  29.                         Led by a spirit in blackest armor.
  30.                         Astride humongous night black charger.
  31.  
  32.                         Nostrils flare,
  33.                         breath mists billow.
  34.                         And silent hooves.
  35.  
  36.                         Coming toward me
  37.                         ever closer.
  38.  
  39.                         They are here.
  40.                         Oh dear God
  41.                         This will not stop!
  42.  
  43.                         Ghost eyes gleam, it's visor glows.
  44.                         Swift movement, glove to hilt.
  45.                         The sword leaves its scabbard.
  46.  
  47.                         Sound!
  48.  
  49.                         Wicked sound
  50.                         Deadly sound
  51.                         Steel ringing steel.
  52.                         Raised gleaming sword begins its fall.
  53.                         Death sweeps down
  54.                         and stops near my heart.
  55.  
  56.                         "We are yours to command, Sire."
  57.                         Begets a deafening yell.
  58.                         Of twelve thousand men at arms.
  59.  
  60.                         On bloodsoaked field
  61.                         at cloudwet dawn.
  62.                         I stand alone.
