They met on unequal ground,

The King and His Lionheart;

One a prince, the other a peasant,

The King and His Lionheart;

Neither liked the other very much,

The King and His Lionheart.

An attempted assassination,

thwarted by a peasant

created a bond between

The King and His Lionheart.

As the years past,

battles were won and lost

and the friendship grew between

The King and His Lionheart.

After the death of a father,

a prince became a king, and a peasant became an advisor

though not much changed between

The King and His Lionheart.

A time of peace and prosperity reigned,

weddings were had and feasts were held

everything was wonderful between

The King and His Lionheart.

As all things do the time ended,

war raged and evil grew in strength

and death was imminent between

The King and His Lionheart.

They met on unequal ground,

The King and His Lionheart;

One a prince, the other a peasant,

The King and His Lionheart;

Neither liked the other very much,

The King and His Lionheart.

It was the beginning of a fantastic adventure.
