Born to the Rapier
Well I'm standing with my sword and shield, My banners are raised, I'm counting down the hours till I reach my end of days,
Cos I was born to the rapier, I was born to the fight, And if this should be my end of days, Then Gods I pray this night That my body will be born again Onto the tourney field, And that I can stand again With my sword and shield,
Well I'm standing with my sword and shield, My banners are raised, I'm counting down the minutes till I reach my end of days,
Cos I was born to the rapier, I was born to the fight, And I will fight through dusk and dawn And by the candle light. Oh friend and foe around me Both falter and fall, Till I am left standing alone Against the shield-wall.
Well I'm standing with my sword and shield, My banners are raised, I'm counting down the seconds till I reach my end of days.
Cos I was born to the rapier, I was born to the fight, And now my end of days has come, Oh Gods I pray this night That my body be born again, Onto the tourney field, And that I can stand again, With my sword and shield,
For I was born to the rapier, I was born to the fight, And with my final breath I pray, "Make my spirit a knight" For I was born to the rapier, I was born to the fight, And I have died by the rapier, I have died in the fight.

WOW...I am impressed. I felt almost a since of pride and self respect in this. Is this your own work? It was like watching a hero on a battle field or something, at least this is the vision and inpression I got...I really liked it..nice flow and simple expression...I enjoyed it alot...look forward to reading more...

Thank you! Yes, it is. As a fighter myself, I had those feelings of self pride, but also a desperate hope - it's a strange feeling when you're one girl against a shieldwall - you know you're going to go down, but there's a solid determination to take down as many of them with you as possible.
