On a mountain far away 

or a hill so quaint and small

lives a knight of darkness

and a fallen angel girl

 

A dragon guards their valuables

with breaths of fire hot

but the foil is the fool

who values what is not

​

Gold to make you sparkle

walls to keep you safe

a stage of which the puppet master

tricked you with again

 

For when you've slain the dragon

like your duty calls

your victory is valiant

your steed is proud and tall

but your angel baked herself into a lifeless barbie doll

 

The conversation has run dry

just like you always hoped

And crumbled with your dreams

from your corroded soul

 

For the foe your hatred rests upon 

is only but a friend

the innocent inside of you

a Truth you must defend
