Heather
Mist rolled in across the plain.
Morning lit the red sky with a new dawn.
Well met gentlemen, smartly pressed, they gathered to their man.
With crisp breath they took their metal.
Upon each other they slowly stepped away.
The handkerchief fell.
Duty...
Lord Stanley stood, satisfied. The Duke however..
Bled.
Mist rolled in across the plain.
Morning had lit the red sky with dawn.
A gut shot killing the Duke. His men gavered, whilst Lord Stanley and his slowley slipped away.

Everybody look what's goin' down.
Duke called that man a gay
Some day soon he'll make him pay
You betta stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down.
(From "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield)
