The sun is bright
It's a comforting light
Yet this is a time of fright
Only the gods know the end of this plight
Taking up my blade and taking a stand
My loyalty to the Crown is not bland
Somehow I knew this was somehow planned
But I shall fight for my king's land
Arrows fly
I see brave men fall and die
I see the dead pile up and sadly sigh
To myself I cannot lie
Sometimes I wish to lie down and cry
But instead I find a strange comfort in the pouring rain
As the cry of the dying begins to refrain
The sting of guilt is a fiery pain
As I watch as many are slain
I can't remember the last time I had
Before I had to ride out and everything was sad
I remember you got mad
But I reminded you that I have already faced enemies, and they were just as bad
Now I am riding down the road, swaying a bit
Ready to die; ready to be thrown into a burial pit
But I remind myself as we stop, the fire lit
That I'm alive and that was it
I am a lady knight
I send my enemy running in fright
My sword blazing with a purple light
I am supposed to set things right
The sun is bright
It's a comforting sight
This is a time of light
Only the gods knew the end of that long ago plight
I hang up my blade for the last night
I have set things right
I am no longer in service as a lady knight
For I have aged in people's sight
The new king smiles but it is tight
He says I should rest from all my battles and long ago fights
I said quietly that I would, or so it may seem
My temper surfaced, hot with anger steam
For I wanted to scream
My skills as a knight I still can redeem
I leave and begin to smile; it grew into a small beam
For I can still be the Lioness in my dream
