When you were yet a maiden
And I was in my Prime
You saw me as your gallant knight
Sent from an older time
You thrilled as I fought dragons
You thrilled to see me fight
Your were my fair young maiden
and I your gallant knight
My armor from a distance
Seemed perfect in your eyes
You did not see the scars of war
Beneath my steel disguise
We’ve travelled so many desolate roads
So much we’ve yet to see
But now I wonder if you love me still
At past a quarter century
You know my every weakness
The closer we’ve become
The armor doesn’t shine as much
As when we first begun
The dragons that once thrilled you
As the same you’ve seen before
You wonder why the beasts still stand
If in fact I have waged war
The blemishes you thought would dissappear
Seem cancers on my skin
