Arson

They came riding at first light Fifty men armed to the teeth The sounding horn called us out to fight We went to meet them in the fields Outnumbered yet we fought But soon we were overrun We took refuge in our home Our downfall had just begun They attacked our home, we kept them out Defending ourselves with spear and bow We took them out one by one As the rising autumn sun glowed There was twenty dead on each side When we first smelled something burn We heard them laughing from outside Taunting us with spiteful words They set the house on fire In order to smoke us out Only five of us was still alive And our time was running out Raging flames surrounded us all Our home was under siege Crumbling roof and burning walls There was no way to break free As we were all about to die We swore a sacred oath Revenge would be claimed if someone survived And we sealed the oath in blood The roof caved in and cleared a path A way out of the flames It was decided that I'd go first As we made for our escaped Suddenly the walls came down And trapped the rest inside My closest friends died that day Only I made it out alive
