I had the roll across my knee and half the names to read. I did not rise and did not run. I counted them instead. There were forty in the front of it and sixty at the rear. I put the number in the book. That is my office here. They did not know the field was mine. They did not know my name. They only saw a man alone who counted as they came. I counted them coming — I counted every one I counted them coming up before the eastern sun There was no company behind me and there was nothing in my hand. I had a roll, I had a ring, and I had where to stand. Their captain had a map. He did not raise his voice at me. He had a march to keep, and men to feed by nightfall and a long way still to sleep. I told him this was mustering ground and told him whose it was. I said the summons out to him the way a summons does. He looked at me. He looked behind. He had no way to see. He turned his hundred sixty out and went around by me. They did not know the field was mine. They did not know my name. They took the word I gave to them and went back down the same. I counted them coming — I counted every one I counted them coming up before the eastern sun There was no company behind me and there was nothing in my hand. I had a roll, I had a ring, and I had where to stand. He was not a cruel man. He had his own men to feed. He had a place to be by dark. He had his own to lead. I did not lie to him at all. I said what I was told. The words were true the day they came. They are just very old. I counted them coming — I counted every one I counted them coming up before the eastern sun There was no company behind me and there was nothing in my hand. I had a roll, I had a ring, and I had where to stand. I counted them coming — I counted every one I counted them coming up before the eastern sun There was no company behind me and there was nothing in my hand. I had a roll, I had a ring, and I had where to stand. I wrote a hundred sixty down and put the book away. They did not come back through the field. I counted them all day. They came up the slope at dawn and they were gone by noon. The grass came back up where they walked. It always does, and soon. I put the roll under my arm. I did the count at four. A hundred sixty went around. And nobody came more. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Music & vocals generated with Suno AI. Artwork generated with AI. Written and produced by Forge of Vows.
