The ash rises and falls
From the burning pyre
A hero leaves as smoke
An epic tale will be told
Of one who stood against all
His body consumed by fire
To others the air now chokes
Of a youth not allow to grow old
And his family and friends wait
Before a fire that rages, burning
Because of the one who died
Defending his people, village
Now his mother and father cry
There is one single warrior
Who won't be returning
From the field of battle
A youth never allowed more life
But his parents cry
They now have scars of war
And nothing could feel worse
