Chapter 1 - The Fallen Prince

The rain swept swiftly
Over those who were fighting
But poured onto those who were dead
Those who deserve death have life
Those who deserve life meet death

How sad to see the fallen prince
Among battered bones
How sad to see the fallen prince wide-eyed
Even though he knew of the dangers
Still seemed as if searching for a way out of death
Even warriors of virtue
Can die upon Mother Nature's soils

How sad to see the fallen prince
Seem naked and alone in the rain
How sad to see the fallen prince
Taken from this unearthly world

The rain swept swiftly
Over those who were fighting
And poured onto those who were dead
Those who deserve death have life
Those who derseve life meet death
