If We Meet At the Ball

If we meet at the ball, just one dance, that’s all And if by chance we do meet at the ball, you shall have that dance A dance with an angel fallen from stars, to grace this humble knight from a kingdom afar And this angel from above who has fallen from the stars, would ever so softly grace you with a kiss, a reward for his kindness On my knees, I make this vow, my heart is yours, forever from now I give this challenge to any who dare, no dragon, nor sorcerer, can break the bond of love we share And off we ride my gallant knight, you pull me close and hold me tight A sweet embrace, our bodies entwined, our fate fulfilled, our destinies combined. Knight, you have won my heart Not even death itself n’er we part Against the Saxons I fell, but not before sending scores to Saxon Hell Thoughts of you gave me power, and for a moment, we won the hour But they were many, and we were few Then Saxon steel, ran me through…. With my dying breath, I called out for you And upon your brow my years do fall In waking dreams, I hear your call Even in death our love rings true, until my own brings me back to you A single rose upon your grave A soul as beautiful as he was brave A love that knows, no earthly bounds Even confined to these hallowed grounds You died dignified with honor and glory Our love was truly a fairy tale story
