Appologies fer the length.

Let me rest, let me go
Let the bastards never know
Let my death pass them by
Let the legend never die

Drop my sword, lose my axe
Slink away, from the ranks
Lie my bleeding body down
Death earned for anothers' crown
So much so soon, I never knew
And the legend, soon it grew
Of the General who would not die
Of the soldier who could not lie
Of the man, the myth, the saint
Who lost no lives in needless feint
Now I lay here, broken, bleeding
Noise of battle, gone, receeding
Darkness creeps upon my sight
I know I've won my final fight.

Let me rest, let me go
Let the bastards never know
Let my death pass them by
Let the legend never die

Once a boy, a child born late
Son of warriors who beat their fate
Grew surrounded by tales of woe
Of soldiers I would never know
And always said, it could have been
Different if the officers had seen
How the men fought and bled
Maybe there could have been less dead.
So I grew, from knife to blade
Never knowing how my fate was made
I led them onwards, brave and true
Showed the officers what to do
And legend surrounded me like a shroud
Told by soldiers, who were bragging proud
That they had fought alongside me
And been all that I had needed them to be

Let me rest, let me go
Let the bastards never know
Let my death pass them by
Let the legend never die

Battles won, and lives not spent
From mouth to mouth the tales went
People flocked to fight my side
To be the undefeated tide
Till the king decried for warriors all
To fight the enemy, answer the call
So we went, to fight for glory
Fight for truth and fight for stories
Legends fled beneath our feet
And enemies tasted sweet defeat
My name alone, caused them to flee
Legends strengthened for all to see
My own downfall have i made
Legends are a two edged blade
And hunted down, and hunted out
Enemies' payment, I have no doubt
So I lay here, weak and fading
My blood spilled for nothing, seeming.

Let me rest, let me go
Let the bastards never know
Let my death pass them by
Let the legend never die

Let me lay here, unseen or lost
Keep the legend at any cost
Remove from me the signs of name
Let the General live again
I shall be nothing more than lost breath
A faceless soldier, gone to meet death
No one saw me as I crawled away
Triumphant king, triumphant day
Let the stories say I flew
Into darkness, and no one knew
Let the carriages be angel drawn
And let no soldiers really mourn
Know I'll be back when trumpet calls
And not the soldier who from the cliff falls
Water wash my corpse alone
As the king ascends to safer throne
I die here, unseen, and safer for it
The fate lives past the man who bore it

Let me rest, let me go
Let the bastards never know
Let my death pass them by
Let the legend never die.
