Look, Guts, to yonder crow

And see the carnage on the hill.

Be strong and silent, my good friend

Bold and brash, to quiet still.

Alas I see a boy of ten

I know that he is of the band

Blood and bone protrude from skin

With metal sword still in his hand

I see his dream: Become a knight

And so I made his wish fulfilled

So, overjoyed, and under-ripe

The Reaper picked him as his kill

I want to tell myself today

That all is good and well today

But I can't, I simply can't today!

For that boy's blood was shed today

And innocence was swept away

Not from him,

No, from me,

My soul is pierced

And now it bleeds

Who counts or knows

The many more atrocities

I might proceed?

How, just how

Can I repent?

Tell me that I must repent

Otherwise I'll snuff more lives

Out till my untimely end

Was it justified for him to die

For happiness had finally filled him

Whatever the case, this boy is dead

It was my dream that finally killed him.
