Tribute 
A filk written by me for the Lorien Trust system, in 2010, dedicated to the character Hargrim Vorall

I am very bad at singing anything to time, so this version has the timing beat against it, but the actual song should be acapella. Also we reverbed this version, for the fun of it. And yes, verse 1 is different to verses 2 and 3. I don't know why either. That's just what was in my head.

Lyrics
I stood behind and I watched you leave,
And I wondered, would you come home, would I grieve?
Would you die for me,
So that I would be free?
I lack the strength to follow where you lead.

And did you know you were a hero
When you took the battlefield?
Did you know that we were counting on you?
Did you know this would be your last stand?
Yet you faced death as you lived, standing true.

Our history is written in adversity:
Through hardship we have endured.
When our own fell to darkness
or the demons advanced,
You held the line, set your shields to the fore.

And did you know that you were heroes
When you took the battlefield?
Did you know that we were counting on you?
Did you know this would be your last stand?
Yet you faced death as you lived, standing true.

It’s not enough to offer up your life.
Are you prepared for the final sacrifice?
Will the void take your pattern?
Will your body be raised
And sent back to your own to fight?

And do you know that you are heroes
When you take the battlefield?
Do you know that we are counting on you?
Do you know this could be your last stand?
Yet you face death as you’ve lived, standing true.
Never think we don’t know what you do.

I am very bad at singing anything to time, so I've uploaded another version with a timing beat, but it should sound like this. And yes, verse 1 is different to verses 2 and 3. I don't know why either. That's just what was in my head.
