Song Of The Battle Part 2 Lover's Question

We both joined this battle side by side 
I climbed the ranks with you right behind
To you I was a friend, a councilor, a warrior to defend
You saw me as your own free rebel man
I led our ranks straight in that battlefield
Fought side by side as always.
And we walked across our battle won
But as one man lay dieing on the field after the battle,
He spat out the words to you "Sir you are led by a woman"
You turned to me confusion and surprise
"Why would a women fight next to me and leave the safe homestead?
"I thought you would always tell me the truth!"
I looked at you, my eyes steady and true
"Why would I stay in my boring life?
"Why can't I be the first woman to be in an army?
I wished to fight and fight I did."
Your eyes turn to mine as I hide my face
With hair cut short and dirt streaked face
I knew you would just laugh
As I hear no words of disdain or laughter
I see your eyes filled with understanding
"Then shall we fight?
"We won the battle but not the war.
"Even if you're a woman,
"I'll follow and love you ever more."

Song Of The Battle Part 1

A raised sword and shield, ready in the ranks
Stay as you are my men, ready at command
Keep in time, watch with care
Don't let them take us by surprise
Over from the hill beyond, this will be their grave
We shall teach our enemies what is to be in war!
You never did falter when we heard their battle cries
You never did flinch when you saw the iron swords
I entrusted you with all our dreams,
Our hopes of what's to come
Even though as your own leader...
I knew we wouldn't survive.
But raise up our flags of war!
We will shall send these bastard to graves
They will regret when they took away our life
I fought along side you my men
I killed our enemies with as much hatred as yours
I was changed on this field as I killed and fought on this bloodies field.

Song of the Wars

Quiet tears on a stained face
A song echoes across the land but goes unheard
By those who the song is sung for.
Those long forgotten or those just gone
This land suffered much under the calm exterior
This land once soaked in the blood of it's people
Those now forgotten and gone
For those the song is sung
Unheard by all except the survivors
The last one is the singer
The last to stay alive from the battle
Battle from many years ago
They fought for freedom and rights
Men and boys dieing in their prime
The guns firing and swords clashing
The swords swung together and in a deadlock
The swords bring the two fighters close
But one must fall as the other goes to the next battle
Swords piercing the soft flesh of the stomach
Man dieing by your arms
He was the only one to see the singer at what they were
He saw the long hair and frightened face of a girl
She tries to get the image out
Blood stained face then instead of tears now
"Why" singer asks "Why"
As she looks in the calm water
"I don't know"
"Of course. Because You're me."
I walked off again off the field that changed me
The field where I killed the enemy
A girl in the army of boys made to fight
I leave the field behind me
On the field is a single tombstone
"For those unable to hear the Song Of The Battle"
