I walked a mile today

One whole mile

On the eve of the battle

with ships set to sail

and bows strung and oiled

Warriors heart purposely set ablaze

The king clad in frivolous bows

which are soon overturned in favor

of his silver arms

for the enemy walks near

Swords are not strewn about and shields are stacked high

Every face walks with grim etched on

with fine black thread

that outlines the clouds in the sky

Held rain above the sea

no bridge to go on

one mile to walk

On the eve of the battle

and yesterday there was one in my heart

but today I just have to walk...
