Green Dragoon

A poem/ song dedicated to Colonel William Tavington portrayed phenomenally by Jason Isaacs

So lonely and misunderstood

With piercing eyes icy-blue

They hide the sadness

Reject all the madness

Refuse to give in

To sleepless nights that make you brood

Charge, charge forward, my Green Dragoon

Into the fray, your head held high

Your saber's cuts know no mercy, no,

Your pistol's aim is always true

Haunted by the past, you run but do not hide

Through victory you advance

Someone's good graces are but empty lies

The harder the path, the more worth to be pursued

Turn your pain into strength

Turn your doubt into faith

Charge, charge forward, my Green Dragoon

Into the fray, your head held high

Your saber's cuts know no mercy, no,

Your pistol's aim is always true

Charge, charge forward, my Green Dragoon

You've been hurt more than your fair share

However, the good side of life, you still can see

The beauty of nature your gaze captures

The sun and the moon, you bathe in their raptures

But world hasn't been kind to you

So why should you be kind in return?

Charge, charge forward, my Green Dragoon

Into the fray, your head held high

Your saber's cuts know no mercy, no,

Your pistol's aim is always true

Charge, charge forward, my Green Dragoon

Fire and water, they are untamed

Forces of nature, just like you

You walk through the storm and the flames

Rise from the wounds and the ashes

Just like a phoenix

In red, black and green

Charge, charge forward, my Green Dragoon

Into the fray, your head held high

Your saber's cuts know no mercy, no,

Your pistol's aim is always true

Charge, charge forward, my Green Dragoon
