V4.5

There was a castle ruled by a just old king
He had a princess, so beautiful, with a gift to sing,
Not only her beauty, but her voice like heaven’s choir
One late summer morning,  in the forest  by the shire
A dragon heard her sing
Some farmers heard a scream, found torn clothes 
And it left the king with no choice…

⸻
[Chorus]
With her voice, she stole his heart
With the sword, he gave his all
He saved her, but she saw him fall
There was love without words
the stronger the love, the darker the curse

⸻
[Verse 2]
They called him the beggar’s knight
His armor was rough, worn from  countless fights
He had swung the sword since the day he was born
Never chasing glory, only the oath he had sworn
He protected the poor in the name of the king
Now the king, with tears in his eyes, begged him to bring
His only child, his sweet baby, back alive or dead
No other man dared face a dragon’s breath
They thought she was dead, why risk their head?
They stayed within the castle walls instead

But the beggar’s knight feared neither dragon nor man
He had already heard the princess sing
Every evening, through the castle walls
He was already in love with her voice
He had never seen her, but his heart didn’t care
So he saddled his horse and faced his fear
He rode to the dragon’s den
Took a breath and counted to ten
He heard the dragon, he heard the princess scream
He charged ahead, gave it all by any means

⸻
[Chorus]
With her voice, she stole his heart
With the sword, he gave his all
He saved her, but she saw him fall
There was love without words the stronger the love, the darker the curse

⸻
[Verse 3]
Through her teary eyes, she saw from the shadows
A dragon’s last breath,  a knight’s last steps ,from life to death,
She recognized the beggar’s knight — she had seen him before
She used to dress as if she were poor,
She had seen him help the helpless and the hopeless in need
She had fallen in love with his gentle eyes a heart without greed 
But always from afar
Still, she dreamed of a day she could tell him how she feel.

She dreamed he would fight and earn the right
To choose a princess then rise to a king from a knight
In her dreams, he always chose her — and she was right
But she never truly felt his love
Until the moment she saw him fall he sacrificed it all..

⸻
[outro-Chorus]
With her voice, she stole his heart
With the sword, he gave his all
He saved her, but she saw him fall
There was love without words
the stronger the love, the darker the curse

[Verse 1] Deep in the forest, there is a place Long lost, ,and forgotten without a trace When people spoke of dragons and fire Long before machines, and selfish desire, Deep in the forest, most has turned to dust in the wind But on a stone, you can still see The letters “J” and “C” and a “T” With a heart for all to see Carved by a knight, long, long ago in history There was a castle ruled by a just old king He had a princess, so beautiful, with a gift to sing, Not only her beauty, but her voice like heaven’s choir One late summer morning, in the forest by the shire A dragon heard her sing Some farmers heard a scream, found torn clothes And it left the king with no choice… ⸻ [Chorus] With her voice, she stole his heart With the sword, he gave his all He saved her, but she saw him fall There was love without words the stronger the love, the darker the curse ⸻ [Verse 2] They called him the beggar’s knight His armor was rough, worn from countless fights He had swung the sword since the day he was born Never chasing glory, only the oath he had sworn He protected the poor in the name of the king Now the king, with tears in his eyes, begged him to bring His only child, his sweet baby, back alive or dead No other man dared face a dragon’s breath They thought she was dead, why risk their head?
