"Freedom"

Struggling with my internal demons

As I've been charged with treason

I did my duty in the name of the crown

Yet my honor is being dragged down

I followed the royal order to assassinate

The young prince of a rival feudal state

Little did I know that there is a devious plot

Until the prince's short life is already lost

Before my bloody blade returns to my sheath

I’m surrounded by the guards of The Shiek

I’ve been tricked by The King himself to start a war

And I'm about to die as I face a hundred swords

A single bolt strikes the door behind The Shiek's head

I swore from the evil look in his eyes I’m dead

He yanks the arrow free, breaks it, and begins to yell

As the guards beat me down and drag me to a cell

I am tossed bloody and bruised onto the stone floor

They broke my legs before closing the prison door

The Shiek has already ordered my death for morn

At the crack of dawn at the stake I will be burned

My ashes will be sent back to my king and queen

As a message that they attacked the wrong regime

I will be killed for being a loyal and faithful ward

As our countries will destroy each other in a war

The price our citizens will pay for our loyality

Losing their loved one during these hostalities

I was nothing more then a pawn in a political game

My family's name will forever be marred in shame

At sunrise,the guards begin lighting the fire beneath me

I begin to cry as I wish I never accepted this taking

A nation torn apart in the name of a corrupted king

One man should never lead their citizens to bloodshed

For freedom is not worth leaving an entire nation dead
