brave

The land was barren, the sky was black...

And she knew that the King's Men were back

On their horses, complete with grins

They have come to conquer and win

But her people were strong, and she was their strength

To fight they would go to any lengths

So as the King's Men grew close to her land

She gathered every woman and man

And took up swords, every single one

Able to fight, able to fight the ones who would come

The Butcher took up a wieldy blade

The Healer's sons came to her aid

The Mason hefted a hammer of war

The Messenger called that revenge will be borne

Upon the shoulders of a single girl

Who through the enemy will spin and twirl

With the Dragon lending her wings

She marched on and on

The people's anthem she sings

The bloody vengeance song

"The Men of the King can wait," she cried

Hearing them knock at the gate outside

"But we will bring God's fury down

Upon the scum, they'll burn and drown!"

She raised her sword, of the best steel

Light as a feather, slick as an eel

Swept it through the brightening sky

And then, a furious roar she cried--

"Halt, whoever goes forth!

For the Lord here does not welcome you onto his land.

I am the daughter of my Lord, and thus

You will perish by my hand."

A wave of fire scorched the land

Avoiding the fort so heavily manned

Then the plague of a thousand seas

Leaving shadows of men on a broken frieze

And thus, the war for them was waged

But the tale has died through this age

So I dare you, yes you, to spread the word

About the girl who dared to hold a sword.
