A shuddering breath, he awoke in the mud Eyes clouded with grit, mouth tasting of blood Smoke all around him, near deaf from the din Dazed, he arose, tangled up in dead men Witless and lost as the world spun around Gaze came to rest on a helm on the ground Dented and split in some savage attack Battle raged round! Memory came flooding back Weeks of fast marches, long hours at drill Knew chaos was coming, knew blood would be spilled But under great hooves, amid sabers' bright flash Un-blooded and green, the square had collapsed One unhorsed rider, leg crudely askew Now arose and advanced on the weaponless youth Who stumbling back, tripped on some lifeless horse But fell on a pistol, still clutched by a corpse Desperate, he aimed, for the hammer was cocked Praying the barrel still carried its shot But though the flint sparked, the pan fizzled and died And iron hands choked off the boy's frantic cry Fighting back panic, hands clamped 'round his throat Flailing, he dug for the knife in his coat Grasping the hilt, new resolve rose within The will to survive, to slay and to win A gap in the cuirass, the blade plunged inside The rider exhaled with a rattling sigh Frothing blood poured with each laboring breath And losing his grip, he slumped into death He stands, as reborn, blade and clothes running red As scavengers creep to the battlefield's edge The armies withdraw, and among the deceased A humble priest kneels, grants the fallen their peace
