Towers of Grey
He rode in on a promise that built a frail
being a King to the North he tried
all kingdoms of heaven he did mount
to find the maidens hand which he knew
All kingdoms heard the wolfs yell
at the end of the long winter they did fall
the kings brother did fight with contempt
and danced and sang as the soldiers wept
He asked for forgiveness till all hearts cried
looking for the fair haired maiden he knew so well
a Queen she was to be made, on this very night
a promise was broken, said the knights of old
The young man, searched high and low
could not know the battles were plenty
at the Towers of Grey where the widows do lay
the fair haired maiden cries her last tears and prays..
