On the water still my boat violently shaking

Upon the window sill the cat silently quaking

Who is left to kill?

[VERSE THREE]
Gm D Eb F
The battlefield is crossed, the flag and castle falling
Gm D Eb F
Is the army lost, command no longer calling

Into an early frost a few survivors crawling

Who could know the cost?
