The Lioness, Lioness

Beauty and power

The Lioness, Lioness

She will fight off death at the hour

See her striving to protect fam'ly and friends

The King's true vassal, loyal, loyal till the end

In the midst of the battle, hear them say

"The Lioness, Lioness"- Alanna triumphs today

She is the Protectress

Mighty and strong

She is the Protectress

Her song, her song is heard on

Waging a war on bullies and hazing

She is said to be simply, simply amazing

Weak defenseless and poor, she'll come at their call

But she will be there when love, love gives it the all

The Wildmage of Tortall

Gallant and free

The Wildmage of Tortall

Sworn to defend her friends till the end

She will heal the broken and help the lost

She will strive for justice, no matter what the cost

From nature she comes, in nature will she remain

Till it is time for her to ascend to the gods' domain

The Lioness the Protectress the Wildmage three

Who would dare to toy with women like these?

They are making their way; they are pacing their road

In the future, women, women will carry their load

They are the champions, the greatest, the most

When the time comes they will live with the gods as their hosts

When they go up to that great Court in the sky

It will be decided, they will be Tortall's patrons on high. On High!

A/N-This is dedicated to the one I call Kailyn, and the one I call Rhia. You two are my coven, my Pack the second, in a manner of speaking. Thanx for being there, guys! There are my first ballads, hope you liked them! Review, pleez, the little box is there for a reason. I gotta run, so bye!
