A Widow's Lament

This is just a small town
Full of simple people
With simple problems
I don't understand what just happened

My husband stood strong
As he tried to defend us
And now he lies dead
What good was accomplished?

Why did this happen to us?
What did we do to deserve such loss?
Why did this happen to us?
And what should we do now?

And where is our lord?
Up there in his castle
Supposed to protect us
Keep us safe from the world all around us

He's nowhere at all
Disappeared before the fight
Left us all alone
All alone in our plight

Why did this happen to us?
What did we do to deserve such loss?
Why did this happen to us?
And what should we do now?
