In the midst of a quiet and peaceful land
Lies a woman with emotions not so grand
She sits and waits in her broken home
The fate of her loved one completely unknown
For countless years she has been forsaken
Due to the war that left her life shaken
Now her palace lies with an empty throne
With tears falling constantly, she's completely alone
He left the homeland out of honor and duty
Unconvinced to stay for the seduction of her beauty
There are few things in the world to make a man run
From royalty, a perfect wife, and a newborn son
She wonders if he had no choice
She wonders if he had regret
She wonders if their love was sacred
Or if he would soon forget
They told her to give up hope
They told her to it was time to cope
They told her to think not of him
That the chance of his homecoming was less than dim
They told her that her patience was in vain
They told her he was dead
They told her to forget the pain
That's what they all said
Would it really be so bad?
Would it really be so scary?
To continue her life happily
And force herself to remarry?
But she chooses to do what's right
She would never have the nerves
To give the family home to a stranger
And deprive the bloodline of what it deserves
She denies the suitors love and delivers them hate
Her mind is made up; she will continue to wait
In a few more months or maybe a few more years
He will come back and end her tears
He will kill the intruders with the might of his spear
And she will be relieved of all her fear
In a land of temptation across the sea
Lives a wife of utter loyalty
