A/N: Yes, I know I should be updating Queen's Revenge, but this just popped into my head.

The Brave and The Bold

My king is brave, my king is bold

You wore red, you wore gold.

I've seen you with a happy smile

I've seen you crying for a while.

You were never that afraid to die

And I've always wondered why.

Your words and actions sometimes stung

But in the end my king was wise: You were just having fun.

My king is brave, my king is bold

Now I think of the words, that until that day remained untold.

Something you've never said to me before, but it's true

You smiled and whispered, "Always... be you."

And just like that you left me behind

On this world I am forever confined.

I wait for the time of your return

For that day I've always yearned.

My king is brave, my king is bold

Why did the secret I hold

Come at the price of your demise

For never again shall you rise.

Camelot died long ago

Why did you have to leave it so?

You're in Avalon now, tell Freya hi

Tell her sorry I could never say goodbye.

My king is brave, my king is bold

Without you, I grow old.

You were the Dragon to my Fire

Every day you flew higher and higher.

You asked me to wait, "I'll come back, some day,"

But for fifteen hundred years, that day never came.

I've seen war, I've seen death

All the people I love, they've taken their last breath.

My king is brave, my king is bold

Over the years your story retold.

Don't worry, you're Albion's legend

To you, I always did come second.

But it's better that way, right?

I was a servant, you were the knight.

At least, that's what people thought

But we were friends, despite the danger that brought.

My king is brave, my king is bold

No one could compare to your heart of gold.

Of your death, for centuries I have dreamed

Every morning I've woken with a scream.

I say I'm okay, but no one believes

I guess they've learnt from watching me grieve.

Every year, I sit here and cry

I ask you, "Why did you have to die?"

My king is brave. My king is bold.

You asked me to wait, Arthur.

But when did I ever do as I was told?
