The Price is Too Much - A Legend

We can want so much TOO MUCH and yet still expect a little but even after it all we'll step over the bodies of the slain to see that even a little can be so much

They'll stare up at us through glazed eyes and make us think if it was all just for this if it was all just to end like this if it was all TOO MUCH and even though Death has taken they'll make us

remember TOO MUCH pain what it feels like to be alive and the next to be dead among those who would fall fighting for a cause that would otherwise crumble

And yet, we still stand TOO MUCH blood dripping down our faces, our helmets, our swords the memory of it all embedded in our mind like a lance through the heart

To wonder TOO MUCH about those families who no longer have a man to have return to wait in silence for the silenced who will never return from Death's icy grip

And so, we wait for the battle that claims us to find that after the fight we are there, among the slain wondering whether it was all TOO MUCH
