I came before thee on bended knee A tear of sorrow in my eye To beg of ye my liberty To live…and not to die I ask of thee to spare thy sword And bring to bear the rack I beg of yee within each word I wish to feel bones crack I came before this court to say My guilt is purely clear I came before thine Lord to pray To live yet thru this year. But if this man is chose to die I ask not for the veil I wilt stand tall,I wilt not cry My soul wilt surely sail For by my death a thousand shall Come forth to free the land And as my blood does flow the swill They wilst before you stand. |

![]() (big huggsssssss) Oh Barry, this is simply marvelous, I admire how in the medieval times everyone in a kingdom was interdependent, they all shared a common bond and stood up as brothers to one another and sought revenge on those who tried to break that creed. (sigh) I only wish this same kind of value can prosper everywhere today as well, I pray for this semi-harmony to resurrect itself, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
