Dedicated to the late Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time series of High Fantasy.

lyrics

Can you please explain how you let me down again
Spare me no detail, oh regale me how you’ve failed

Your majesty, how many dragons have I slain
Countless scars, blood spilt with no complaint
But of these hallowed jewels of which you speak
There is but one I fear that I must keep

And the skies they opened wide
Revealing serpent-demon’s crimson eyes

Clearly now, Sir Knight, you speak a jest
For such heresy I’ll quickly have your head
As you’ve sworn, obey my each command
Lay thy bounty surely in my hand

As surely as thine face and hand are fair
I can bear thee, my Queen, no ill repair
But her Ladyship will fast adjust her tone
Else I strip her bare before her throne

As her eyes grew wide
A fountain of pure flame belied the night

Scores of my long years and youth lost for her favor
For a face, a hand, a heart cold as ice
I revel in this moment and forever
Oh mistress mine, here is your chance to pay the price

As she spied the belly of the beast
That rest, at his command, upon his heels
She unsheathed a jewel-encrusted sword
And knelt it at the feet of her new Lord
