King

Oh queen
I wasn't born here
I was birthed by struggle
There was no time to cry
When I left the safe guard of my mother's womb
I opened my eyes to combat and casualties
The air was thick with suffering
My life was already threatened by chaos
The dragon that terrorized my family for centuries
Was lurking near by
And I was a single soul brigade
And the dragon's newest adversary
For it could smell the fate of my father's transgression in my DNA
And I watched that burden weigh on my mother
Whose back was already sore from carrying the worlds
That chose her life to declare war on
She was a conquerer still trying to conquer them
So the fight was my inheritance
The fire in my eyes is a family heirloom
That I used to sustain the broken soldier in me
Lost in a war-torn legacy
Apparently terrified
Obliviously courageous
Blindly navigating this battleground of a life
With no man to guide me
So, I fought my enemies with my faith leading as if it were my father
And faith would remind me that fear is scarier than danger
I started to prevail
I ain't from 'round here
I was raised over in that city
Where little boys must be warriors
Before they can be anyone else's fantasies
I've been using my callused heart as sword and shield
Slaying legendary dragons with it
Far before I could be cultivated
By the fairytales you were raised with
And I know you've been living alone in that vast castle of a life
With complex ambition running your nations
And omnipotent desires to live happily ever after
Desperately chasing the grand fantasy of your wildest dreams
Oh queen
I wasn't born here
But this passion is more abysmal than your castle's dungeons
These battle scars are immensely dense like your ambition
My spirit conquered worlds enormous like the nations you run
These marred hands are more powerful than your desires
This heart is more eternal than your happily ever after
So this love is probably your wildest dream
I can still give you a fantasy
But I'd rather give you a king
