1. you meet her, and your heart beats with the thrum of a war drum.
with the savagery of control,
the desire to overrule the princess.
For once in your life to
do something,
mean something,
be something.
at any cost.
You thrive in it's seconds of glory
before she takes your throne,
and your war drum ceases.
2. you follow her, and your heart is still beating,
but it beats with weariness and distrust,
she has unarmed you with wit, and commanding eyes.
You know not how a princess can become a queen
but somehow know, if she falls to her death
you will miss the start of history
and you cannot ignore history.
You hold her arm,
you war drum ceases.
3. you teach her to fight. you kill for her.
she is the light, and you are seeking it,
she is offering you redemption
free and sweet, and merciful
and you will never have anything to give her.
but you take it
and your heart is no longer a war drum
but you beat with purpose.
you will keep the queen alive,
you will protect the world at her side.
she rests against you,
your war drum ceases.
4.She leaves you once, and you understand
you let her go, and hope to find her again.
you escape from the flames, from the mountain
from the dreams, with hope the beacon of light
will come back to you.
She runs into your arms
and you feel your heart beat.
for heaven is as sweet as this.
for hell is to let her go,
but you must.
you must protect the queen.
your war drum ceases.
5. she falls for the lies of the commander
she sends you away
she is no longer the light,
you can see history starting to crumble
like every empire that meets its demise
and you try, you try to protect her
but she is no longer the light queen, but a grim reaper
with blood in her nails, and ghosts in her shadow,
for the sake of your people.
so you take her hand, and you become the grim reaper
for you protect the queen.
and your soul is damned to her salvation.
6. she leaves again, and you cannot understand.
you promise to stay
and your war drum beats again,
for history is over
a new era begins.
and if the queen is no longer here
and redemption is no longer given ,
you will take her place, and rule
until the queen comes back
bathed in glory and light
bringing her old soul back
7. and they shall whisper of the queen
of the knight and the war drums
that rule the land
until she returns
to quiet them.
