REMEMBER THIS MAN


He lived in a time of war and pain,


A knight of a King, a warrior with a name,


On an island that rests across the sea,


Remember this man who fought in old England.


Centuries ago, stories of old, a time of blood,


Lived by the sword, a fighting man on a horse.


What was his name, does it matter this day,


Did he sacrifice, did this man make a change.


What was accomplished by the blood on his sword,


He killed for a king, a man on a throne.


Tears in his eyes, perhaps on the day he did die,


With his last breath did he ask forgiveness to the sky.
