Am F When I was a young man C G With burning heart and heavy hand Am F C Em C Em I fought not for honor or fair chivalry Am F I cared not for promises C G From gentle lass or Christian Mass Am F G Am C Em Am C Em AM Whatever the cost I would have victory
I came with an army to the shores of this kingdom To pillage the country in the service of greed My life changed before me As we lay siege the castle walls For there on the ramparts stood the Queen of Caid
Arrayed in her armor like a warrior Valkyrie Her sword flashed before me like the sun in my eyes And left me to wonder as my men fell around me On a lifetime of murder, deception, and lies
I hear the horns calling, the drums loudly thundering The fight turns against us, for my life I must flee But I cannot escape her or the way that she looks at me Nor can I face her as I fall to my knees
Surrounded by foemen, all my sworn enemies Waiting the order that will cut short my days They parted before her And she reached down her hand to me Salvation and honor for a change in my ways
It's thirty long years now Since I've come to this kingdom And I've learned much of honor and fair chivalry Asking that only in defense of her kingdom I can die in the service of the Queen of Caid
