Overtaken

Written to the song "Overtaken" by Jeremiah Pena

What is this?
What is it's meaning?
This tragedy that fills my soul
The despair that comes over me.
Strength seems to be fleeing
But I need every ounce that I have
I must fight this battle
But only more tragedy lies ahead.
Why does this so overcome me?
Why is the emotion so deep?
Like a hole, never ending
A sad note echoing still.
The anguish! The anguish! It fills me!
Though I ride into battle head high.
The tragedy, tragedy, kills me!
Before the enemy raises his sword!
The sad note, the tragedy, echoes...
That note plays to my dying breath...
