Bended Knee
I heard the Cavalry ride that day
My parents hid me and there I'd stay
Then those troops came, one by one
Men with honor, men with virtue, men with none
When they held her, I heard him cry
And when they butchered him, I watched her die
I shed no tears but vowed that day
Men would crumble, men would suffer, men would pay
Before the war came, I was free
Then a darkness consumed me
The face of war is all I see
And I find no hope on bended knee
I kept my word as the years crept by
I slaughtered all to watch them die
I'd make them doubt all they believed
Men can marry, men can father, men can grieve
They'd beg their lord as I did my will
Their wives would scream at their children still
I heard their stories one by one
Men have prayers, men have regrets, I have none
Before the war came, I was free
Now a darkness consumes me
I'm the last face men will see
And they waste their breath on bended knee
My parents hid me and there I'd stay
Then those troops came, one by one
Men with honor, men with virtue, men with none
When they held her, I heard him cry
And when they butchered him, I watched her die
I shed no tears but vowed that day
Men would crumble, men would suffer, men would pay
Before the war came, I was free
Then a darkness consumed me
The face of war is all I see
And I find no hope on bended knee
I kept my word as the years crept by
I slaughtered all to watch them die
I'd make them doubt all they believed
Men can marry, men can father, men can grieve
They'd beg their lord as I did my will
Their wives would scream at their children still
I heard their stories one by one
Men have prayers, men have regrets, I have none
Before the war came, I was free
Now a darkness consumes me
I'm the last face men will see
And they waste their breath on bended knee
