The smell of blood lingers in the air.
Screams of anguish and pain are heard.
Death looms over this battlefield.
Death is searching for me.

As I lie dying.

The war has come to an end.
The Dark Lord has fallen.
And I can no longer care.
There can be no victor.

As I lie dying.

Now I am finally able to see.
There was no reason to fight.
I gave up my life—my soul.
I know I cannot be redeemed.

As I lie dying.

I hear footsteps in the distance.
Help has come for the injured.
For many, it is far too late.
For me, it is far too late.

As I lie dying.

It is becoming hard to breathe.
Pain surges through my body.
The world begins to fade away.
I know there is little time for me.

As I lie dying.

I whisper a solemn apology.
To no one and to everyone.
I know that I was wrong.
I see so clearly now.

As I lie dying.
