Sire, thy blood courses mightily the vein
of our realm.   And from this raging flood
we are born.

For, though the womb of my mother bore
me, I am thy child.  For in my veins,  
a torrent rages as I return to thy hands my
own meager, humble life.

Life without thy kingdom is as would be
a soulless body of withered skin within
a hollow soundless tomb.

Only the death of me shall bring
the stone crypt to bear my name.  And
before that moment, a thousand shall
lie before me, lifeless and cold upon
the crimson soils.  

For I am your servant, loyal to your
wishes, your commands until the messenger
of death stalks no more...

Do with me as you will.

Oh...oh.

The story of a new name
begins again...

a new generation...a new write.

Take us away.

Sir, you speak with greatest chivalry and honor.  Ah, to see the knights ride . . .

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
