Why on earth should I bother
To cry out, yell and holler
Death's cold bony fingers nears
I have fought for great kings
Many lovely women my flings
Mostly resulting in tears.

My one, only true and greatest love.
The witch's curse had turned to dove
Flown from heart I lost my soul.
Now a blade has found my own heart
Soon my fate is hoisted on the cronies cart
Valors in my life can make me whole.

My only sin is breaking hearts
Will the gods think enough to thwart
This sad dead knight to his true lover
Or will my sins send my soul afloat
On water where fire consumes all boats
Or is hope and mercy what the gods'cover
