Broken sword. Rotten shield Old hymns. Empty prayers Human disintegration Erosion of will and devotion. The toll of dedication, the faltering of plate mail armor. Enraptured with the fog of war and certainty of failure. The sting of loss remains cruelest. Broken sword. Rotten shield Old hymns. Empty prayers All oaths broken. Fallen knight dies.
