A queen and a general, a poem and a story, how you like it.

Thank you for the love
Thank you for the queen
Thank you for the blood
Thank you for the fiends

His isn't hers
To the end we shall fight
Together forever
Who's blood is spilled tonight?

The friends, the foes,
The love forever
All the armies collect
Soldiers returning never.

The Queen, her compassion
Her joy, her wit
She cares for all,
But on her throne she sits.

For fear? For love?
No one really cares
Long live the queen
Hurt her if you dare.

You dare? You die.
We are loyal, one and all.
I command, I kill.
But I, too have my flaws.

Thank you for the sword
Thank you for the queen
Thank you for the blood
Thank you for the fiends

They respect me,
And to us both they will serve
For I shall win the battle,
It's a victory well deserved

But to their families at home,
What if they return?
We have won! We have won!
But what have I learned?

I am a loner,
But not a fraud and not a lie.
I fight for myself?
No, but I'll win or I'll die.

The Queen, she knows this.
But does she let it show?
And would she care,
If she knew what I know?

I know of her love,
Lost long ago in war.
He fought hard, he fought strong
But God closed her door.

Thank you for the sword
Thank you for the queen
Thank you for the blood
Thank you for the fiends

Together, we rule
This land of the strong.
Her power, my will,
And a spirit long gone.

Thank you for the sword
Thank you for the queen
Thank you for the blood
Thank you for the fiends
