How will you fare when my people rise?

How will you fare when my people die?

How will you fare when world turns to ice?

.

How will you know if she's born to lead?

How will you know if she's born to bleed?

How will you know if she's good enough for me?

.

Take my sword. Take my bow.

Teach her everything she'll need to know.

Take my dagger. Take my knife.

Teach her how to live not just survive.

.

How will she be when I have to go?

How will she be? I'll never know.

How will she be when ashes fall like snow?

.

How will she learn that only the weak

are never meant to succeed,

and will drop like a a dying autumn leaf?

.

Take my armor. Take my sheath.

Teach her how to suffocate then breathe.

Take my war paint. Take my eyes.

Show her that the love I gave to her was the reason why my soul flies.
