Slechtvalk - Of Slumber And d**h lyrics

We are called upon to go to war Our banners raised high, we march on Our steel glinting in the setting sun d**h can't stop us from achieving victory When we finished to set up our encampment I was appointed to be the first to guard As my men closed their eyes to sleep I warmed myself at a small fire Then a deep sleep - overwhelmed me He tried to fight it, but he failed And then - our enemies approached But no one noticed them, for all were asleep Silently they slit their throats, leaving one alive; their captain was spared for another day Suddenly I awaken from my sleep I call for my men for the morning has come But when I look around me I see them All slaughtered but I am still alive I wander between the corpses of my men Abhorred by this carnage I ask myself What has happened to my men? Slowly I return to where the castle is of the king, whom I must tell of my failure, the d**h of his men I fear the judgement that awaits me
