Fairytale

Once upon a Fairytale
                        in a Land unlike our own
                        There stood a Palace of Strength and Love
                        surrounded by water and stone

                        Majestic dragons of distant lifetimes
                        glide swoop and perpetually dive
                        Impish Faeries with sparkling eyes
                        dance 'round the moons and come alive

                        Five purple suns in the heat of the day
                        shine down on the vast kingdom below
                        Knight loves Young Maiden and steals her away
                        to a place where crystal rivers flow

                        Alone in the clearing their sighs intertwine
                        with the rising heat of their actions
                        A loving embrace, a deeply felt kiss
                        an explosion of desire and passions

                        But the Kingdom shall not remain so blisffully safe
                        For the Enemy creeps and dangers unfold;
                        A midnight raven furiously cries in vain
                        for the Knight to awaken and Take Hold...

                        Firey battles rage upon the Castle
                        Warriors and soldiers march into Hell
                        The Knight hears the call from his Brothers-in Arm
                        and bids his Young Maiden farewell

                        Crying out for his valient and loyal dark steed
                        in a voice commanding wind, fire and rain
                        Silver shield raised up high and sword touching the sky
                        the brave Knight rides to restore Hope again

                        His galloping horse travels like lightening and speed
                        taking paths through the clouds and the thunder
                        Upon reaching his home he falls to his knees
                        for most of the great walls have crumbled

                        The Enemy silently awaits him near
                        his sly grin and red eyes glowing bright
                        The Knight feels his evil and searches him out
                        in the place where his father lost the Great Fight

                        Angry eyes meet determined ones
                        Fog rolls in and darkens the land
                        Enemy amd Knight begin the challenge to see
                        who will destroy or save this haven in the end

                        Gleaming tips of powerful swords meet and strike with
                        malice
                        Knight is well trained and has strength from the gods
                        and the unwavering will to save his palace

                        Losing in the end with a look and a curse
                        the Enemy falls to the ground
                        The Young Maiden and village emerge from their hiding
                        and praise their Knight's victory in song

                        But the Knight was cut deep from his mission
                        and needs breath for eternal sleep
                        Though his good deeds and protection did well
                        His own life to give he can't keep

                        He looks one last time at his beautiful Maiden
                        with a soft smile and promise to love
                        She cries for what might have been in the future
                        A final kiss and his soul flies away like a dove
