Set against a backdrop of duty and honor, this powerful ballad explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle between strength and vulnerability.
Verse 1:
In the shadows of the night, I stand tall,
Stalwart and unyielding, ready for the call.
A warrior's heart, hardened by the fight,
Yet here in silence, I dream of her light.
Chorus:
Oh, the sword is my guide, the shield by my side,
But why does my heart feel like it's asked to divide?
She's a noblewoman, and I’m forged in steel,
Caught in this turmoil, can I show how I feel?
Verse 2:
I train in the fields, my hands build the strength,
In battle and honor, I’ll go to any length.
But thoughts of her laughter, they haunt me at night,
A flicker of softness, a distant, sweet light.
Chorus:
Oh, the sword is my guide, the shield by my side,
But why does my heart feel like it's asked to divide?
She's a noblewoman, and I’m forged in steel,
Caught in this turmoil, can I show how I feel?
Bridge:
The battlefield calls, and I respond true,
Yet this unyielding heart it seems to pursue.
A conflict inside, where honor should reign,
If I am the storm, then she is the rain.
Verse 3:
I swear to protect her, my life I would give,
But the heart bears no armor, and barely can live.
Caught in her gaze, my resolve fades away,
A warrior's duty, or love’s soft sway?
Chorus:
Oh, the sword is my guide, the shield by my side,
But why does my heart feel like it's asked to divide?
She's a noblewoman, and I’m forged in steel,
Caught in this turmoil, can I show how I feel?
Outro:
Through battles and silence, I’ll fight for her name,
In the end, is love worth the risk of this flame?
An orc's heart can break, and a warrior can weep,
And perhaps in this struggle, my love runs deep.
