I used to be a soldier...
But then they took away my sword.
They tried to turn me into a Mage
But with my studies, I grew bored.
-
I used to be a warrior.
I used to charge the enemy lines.
I would brave their sharpest blades
I've missed death a thousand times.
-
I used to be the battle-born
The fastest draw
The loudest horn.
-
I used to love the heat of war
But now I fight their bouts no more...
-
I used to be a fighter.
I never ran from anyone.
I'd tackle giants if they wished.
I'd rumble until the day was done.
-
I used to have the strongest arm.
I used to be their greatest man.
I used to liberate their fields.
Free any village, town, or land.
-
I used to be the prodigy
The chosen one
The immortal.
I used to be their legend...
That was true
Until they took my soul.
-
I won them glory
Fame and more
They came and kicked in my front door
-
They took my hand and took my sword.
They burned it all
They broke my world...
-
Their magic sapped my strength away
I fought their chains
They wouldn't break.
-
I think I know where it went wrong.
They feared my might
I was too strong...
-
And now I await the waking gong
For come tomorrow
I'll be gone.
-
But I won't go easy...
Tough as a boulder.
For one last moment
I'll be a soldier.
