The dark of ages past

Amidst the dark of ages past
Where silent echoes fade with time
Old heroes lie in darkened wake
Their deeds survive in storied rhyme
But what has come of fabled men
Whose courage brought adventures grand
Now fate has rendered cold their bones
And none remain with strength to stand
Those years are gone, and with them passed
The legendary men of old
Whose gallantry exceeded most
Their names revered, their stories told
God rest these heroes, one and all
Their fights of good against evil past
Until one day, remembered not
They'll fade away and rest at last.
