Ode+to+the+Ten+Thousand

The field of battle, soaked with the blood Of ten thousand warriors there Where long ago, the clashing flood Of blades filled the air

Here, the cavalry held the battle line Poised on the edge of death Caught between the glorious time And the draw of last breath

Standing aloft, one can almost see The flutter of banners bold Forgotten, the ten thousand will never be Forever will their tale be told
