lyrics

Lord Baerston reflects on what happened when the Keep fell. He defends himself against a possible accusation of cowardice which could be forwarded by his fellow knights.

"So, I escaped.
It would have been more honourable to die with my soldiers that day, wouldn't it?
I was the last one to be alive.
Should I then have sacrificed my life, as did those who defended Baerston Keep?
I did not sacrifice my life. Not this time.
I sacrificed my honour to save a child's father.
I sacrificed my honour so that a wife would not become a widow.
What sacrifice, my fellow knights, is bigger?
What is more beneficial for those in need?
Oh, I will lay down my life, if that is the only way to save what I hold most dear.
But this was not the time for that."
