Shadows Cast by No Salute

Only the heroes taste success,

Only they can taste defeat.

But all the while, we're forgotten,

Bodies trampled under feet.

Wave after wave, we fling ourselves,

To our foe's mighty gates.

Sword and bow and cannon fire,

And siege giants irate.

Treated like fodder as heroes clash,

Even knights get more acclaim.

For what are we but mere minions,

Fight and die without fame?

So "victory," the realm lord says,

While I'm left in the dust.

Body slowly bleeding out,

Armour turning to rust.

I know I'll die, will be forgot,

And none shall be forlorn.

For all fame goes to our masters,

The "Heroes of the Storm."
