Saxon Crow

Day 4 - Arthur\'s lament

As I drew the sword from the rock

Within my heart I was born anew

\'You and the land are one\' it said

And this simple truth was all I knew

As I ruled throughout my life 

My sword would always be my guide

With every decision that weighed on my soul

My sword would be light as the wind 

Or heavy as stone.

As King I ruled with fair and just wisdom

But in love, I became lost within my kingdom

And as the years struggled on by

Those that were closest had left my side 

In time I doubted who I was

I forgot the oath I once held close

Until the day of my final fight

And I conquered the evil of my mind

I lay dying in battlefield blood

It was then that I finally understood

Being King was easy to do

But being a man was a different tune

And though I suffered at least I can say 

I now know which role I was meant to play
