Your Hughes of red and yellow amour,
The battle scars of a fallen warrior,
Once alive and green,
Now destined to never be seen,
As he lays on the ground dying,
His army joins him,
Always falling,
As winter arrives,
His rusty coat slowly disappears,
A once powerful being,
Spreading life,
Now a symbol of death and cold,
Soon to be replaced by a new army,
Only to fall once again.
