first lance of spain

on this letter

a great flood of tears will fall

but it's better

a last farewell to recall. it's been the sentence: i'll be tomorrow shot down. feel no repentance

'cause more courageous i've grown. i'm out of breath

there's no more time

it's coming death

to pull the crime. unconcerned death

my dear wife

doesn't take out but gives more life. don't come to me or i shall break down

i must gain honour and renown

forever

no matter the pain

i'll be the first lance of spain. till i die

my last sign

is yours. just your vision

would take my will power away

my decision: together we mustn't stay. my last endeavour: showing a still countenance

leads me forever

to be the spanish first lance. i'm out of breath

there's no more time

it's coming death

to pull the crime. unconcerned death

my dear wife

doesn't take out but gives more life. don't come to me or i shall break down

i must gain honour and renown

forever

no matter the pain

i'll be the first lance of spain. yours till death

my last breath.
