Soldier on - A dark poem for Age of Conan
Soldier on, my little precious
Let the sirens guide your way
Right into the heart of madness
To everything you long to be
Soldier on, my little templar
Let the darkness pave your way
Your sword craves blood but you'll remember
A debt you never could repay
Soldier on, my little savage
Barbarians live for the fight
You're restless, battle-born to ravage
Until you find the endless night
Soldier on, my little tempest
Go wash your hands in innocence
Of all the blood spilled on your conquest
Blind faith for Set's omnipotence
Soldier on, my little herald
A demon in a human skin
No doubt will make his sway imperiled
Where Xotli ends and you begin
Soldier on, my little guardian
Protect and serve the ones in need
For failure there will be no pardon
You are the one that's meant to bleed
Soldier on, my little killer
Smiling when you take a life
Assassins are society's pillar
The dark horse in the nations' strife
Soldier on, my little cleric
You have to shine in Mitra's light
Be neither joyous nor hysteric
A servant till the last goodnight
Soldier on, my little warlock
With summoned dead at your command
A necromancer finds death's door lock
Till everything gets out of hand
Soldier on, my little fighter
Run with the hare, hunt with the hounds
The slayer's guilt grows never lighter
A conqueror of battlegrounds
Soldier on, my little ranger
Your arrows deal the lethal kiss
Distance makes you for a stranger
You'll never know what you might miss
Soldier on, my little shaman
Living for the spirits' will
Your wisdom outlasts every aeon
But you will be forsaken still
Soldier on, my little wizard
Play with fire and the storm
Pure power to your grasp has slithered
Your demons surely mean no harm
One day, when you don't heed my warning
The folk will hang you when the sun
Rises on a clear sky morning
You will fade and I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Soldier on
