A coward’s fate
I look at your cold, empty eyes
And your lifeless, mangled body covered with blood and gore
The people surrounding you are heralding you as their hero
Who met this fate while saving a woman's dignity
So brave were you that you didn't mind being stricken down by swords and die for that lady
While ensuring that the goons were all dead and she was protected from all harm
But little do they know that you cowered behind me
When the goons attacked me
Of course you had to meet the same fate as them
But your cowardice won't be forgotten
Your nonexistent deeds will be sung
And I will remain the unsung hero
