(tears trickle down a paladin's cheeks ... he refuses to wipe them away)
What a marvelous ode to our heroes ...
This is what being a bard is truly all about ...
Tell the tale, and tell it true, over and over again ...
For our friends, their loved ones, their children ...
So that we all may know their devotion ...
To the cause that we must now accept ...
Raise the flag from the embers ...
Hope marches on in our eyes, our hearts, our souls!!
