The Ballad of the Mystery Warrior

The wind whispers in my ear to leave and leave nowI don't back down, I am here for a reasonIt's dark and cold this fake seasonI will save her that is my vow

.

The trees rake at my face, pulling me downI fight hard and cut past with my swordWhen I return with her I will please the lordA party will be held and I will be given a crown

.

But for now, focus on the swampThe gooey, sticky thingI stand and make a branch flingI hear the monsters jaws chomp

.

I try to face the monster, its greedy eye I do seeIts teeth are sharp and covered in bloodI stare at myself covered in mudThe brawl starts and the monster tries to eat me

.

I have been mauled in my time but nothing to thisI slash at its neck, reaching as far as I canDestroy and save, that is my planWith half my plan done; I am to save the mistress

.

..I am in the castle and run to the princessI take her hand, yet she does not moveHer leg is chained, I must get it off, that is behooveThe room was thick with the smell of incense

.

I carry her through the swamp and mudAnd through the branches and bushesHer voice encourages and pushesAs I pass the monster's flowing blood

.

We return home where congratulations is in every earThere is a feast tonightThere is so much lightSo I keep my princess near
