The Warrior's Lament

[Verse 1]
She was born in a castle
Cold stone halls
Golden ribbons
But no one to call
Her laughter echoed
But it met no ear
Only shadows stayed near
[Prechorus]
The crown’s weight pressed on her brow
But who was there to love her now?
[Chorus]
They left her
Left her
Alone in the night
Turned their backs
When her tears took flight
But the fire in her heart
It burned so bright
They made her a soldier
Made her fight
[Verse 2]
They cast her out
In rags
No grace
Fields of frost became her embrace
She stitched her wounds with the threads of pain
And stood taller in the rain
[Prechorus]
The blade she bore
It sang her song
Each strike said
"I’ve been alone too long"
[Chorus]
They left her
Left her
Alone in the night
Turned their backs
When her tears took flight
But the fire in her heart
It burned so bright
They made her a soldier
Made her fight
