Slip The Noose

  • Slip The Noose

    Slip the noose and fly away

    You’re destined not to die today.

     

    Remember life upon the mount?

    High Rock called as home.

    Flowers amongst mountains high

    Countryside to roam.

     

    Slip the noose and fly away

    Meet me here as you may.

     

    Remember our sweet home at home?

    Our hearth our source of heat.

    Our mead good, the nights cold

    Meals of ale and meat.

     

    Slip the noose and fly away

    Won’t you live another day?

     

    Remember how we left that place?

    Left to fight the wretched war,

    The war that killed our soul,

    Everyday ne’erending, death more and more.

     

    Slip the noose and fly away

    You’ll make it here and you’ll stay.

     

    Remember how we tried to leave?

    We couldn’t stand the death.

    We tried to run, tried to flee,

    We tried to run but lost our breath.

     

    Slip the noose and fly away

    We’ll lay in meadows like yesterday.

     

    Now you stand on the hanging chair

    Death approaches fast

    You prepare to make your peace

    But those words won’t be your last

     

    If you

    Slip the noose and fly away

    And make it to me all the way.

    Good poem, reminded me of the beginning of Skyrim. Shame Alduin doesn't take saving people about to be executed as a full time job. Could pay better than being the world eater.
