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.
