The Sarissa's Song

from Lake Charles by Reece Sullivan

/

about

Written late October to November 20th, Lafayette, 2014.

lyrics

In matters war and state
In your service, stand
Until my dying day
With a sword in hand

A merchant I am not
Nor with craftsman’s trade
But I accept my lot
For you, The King, my grace

The sarissa’s song is sad, ol’ song
He pipes it soft and low
I’d ply my hand at a gentler trade
But war is all I know

In the mud I wade
And in my comrade’s blood
Or on the dusty plains
Under the noon day’s sun

The sarissa’s song is sad, ol’ song
He pipes it soft and low
I’d ply my hand at a gentler trade
But war is all I know
