The Ousting Of The Orcs - A Bardic Tale

Warrior's Dilemma

Until the foes charge him no more

Though he has saved all of the land

How can she hold his blood soaked hands

Champion of virtue and slayer of kings

He bows and he weeps when he hears bards sing

Has not he earned a measure of love?

He'll war and he'll war until it's enough

Though no maiden hears his heart broken call

Alone now he rides through ghostly old moors

The challenge of foes he tries to ignore

He's lost all his courage, the nerve of his steel

For womanly comfort he shall never feel

-

But fight on, fight on our warrior brave

You'd greatly be honored in previous age

Feel not despair, weep not for what's lost

For reward is waiting, just pay the cost

The Gods shall send a maiden to you

Filled with beauty and grace, to be ever true

Endure the hardships, conquer your woes

They'll wound you greater than any known foe
