The Death of a Warrior
by K'Tor

Into the Battle I go
My death will be a glorious one.
The battle rages on.
A victory must be won,
Today is a good day to die.

With daq'tagh drawn
I fight to the death.
The enemy's face I see,
His knife plunges into me.
The blood runs down my tunic
onto the ground.
I know that my death is near,
Today is a good day to die.

The cries of the other warriors are heard,
I cannot cry out in answer.
There are bodies all around me,
Mine will be just another shell.
My spirit will go to Sto~Vo~Kor
To meet with my ancestors.
Today is a good day to die.

A statue of me will for all to see,
Adorn the Great Hall on Qo'noS.
Songs will be sung of the battle,
Today is a good day to die.

My time is running out,
I cannot even shout.
The battle rages on.
My death is near,
I must not show fear.
Today is a good day to die.

To die for the Empire
Every warrior desires.
The battle is over,
Victory is gained.
My death is not in vain.
Glory to the Empire!
