Hero's Ballad

You always told me you were on my side

My confidant, my ride or die

I poured myself into the love you gave me

And when you left you told me

You'd set me free

I weilded a sword when I was a child

A knight in the forest, both fearless and wild

But you made me dim my light to the world

You just couldn't deal when my power unfurled

Let's slay the dragon together, he said

I'm the one foot soldier that he sent ahead

Let's kill the monsters until they are dead

I'm still playing hero to keep you

Out of my head

So why didn't you just let me love you?

We could have made up new legends too

But for you now I see that my fire's too bright

You turned into steam without seeing the light

But battle scars don't heal so easily

I wanted to hurt you like you'd wounded me

That feral child never forgot her sword

But I'm full grown now, I'll calm your wars with my words

Let's slay the dragon together, he said

I'm the one foot soldier that he sent ahead

Let's kill the monsters until they are dead

I'm still playing hero to keep you

Out of my head

Let's slay the dragon together, he said

I'm the one foot soldier that he sent ahead

Let's kill the monsters until they are dead

I'm still playing hero to keep you

But I've seen blood and I'll take my glory

No thanks to you since you've been long gone

Soon I'll be singing a different story

Bearing my soles till they break

At the break of dawn
