Sadness
My people have left me
what am I to do
I was once a great leader
but now I am through
My army has fallen
the enemy is near
death is upon me
it's abundantly clear
I tried my best
I gave it my all
I thought I could win
but I hit the brick wall
my country is ruined
my great empire in flames
no one will remember
how great was my name
I leave this Earth in a most cowardly way
I gift upon history, what others might say
the winner of battle
is the one who writes the books
for me I am vanquished
so let them write their lies
How easy it is to remember
excuse me now, I must go and die
