The Princess In the Tower

Oh princess in the highest tower, You're guarded by a dragon that will devour. While I am but a broken knight, The endeavor of saving you does excite. So now I pick up sword and shield, And march across this forsaken field. I take the roads less traveled by, The journey takes me far and high. I make my way to your castle, And let me tell you it was quite the hassle. Fear grips me with every step I take, But I must do this for our sake. I see the dragon fierce as could be, It advises me to bow down and plea. I take up arms and strike a blow, As the blizzard inside me begins to grow. The creature lashes with all its might, But I will not give up this fight. I call upon all I know, To strike down this deadly foe. I pierce its heart with my blade, Now the dragon begins to fade. His life fleeting before my hands, He no longer rules these lands. Running up the tower I see a light, This must be the end of my plight. I open the door and behold your form, Butterflies within me begin to swarm. Princess I have freed thee, No longer are you imprisoned by he. Take my hand and let's make way, For this is our glorious day.
