A hero fell

Just when he felt he could do it all, the hero fell
what happened to him, i will have to dwell

he fought off many a phantasm, but one got through
after he was struck, there was only one thing to do

fight on till the last, till he breathed no more
underneath it all he knew he would die, he felt it to the core

one went down then another and another
fighting with a frenzy we couldn't do, even together

finally he took his final blow
he hid his face, he dare not show

but we are not ashamed he died with his boots on
for if he would not have been there, we would have been gone
