To Defend What They Treasure

Why they'll fight is not for an adventure but for the future
They serve with fear and threat deep inside their being
They are encased in armor, to protect their fragile flesh
But when they rise to fight, they are making a choice
To defend the frontier from invasion, defend the home
By honor they will serve their lord, and bear his sword
Even without allies they fight, with wit they'll employ
This battle is the last chance, after all hope has flown
But life is worth giving to save what you treasure
And if their strength yields to the enemy
They still will not flee the field
