For the Queen

The castle walls are breaking down
The throne room echoes with the sound
Of armies marching up the stairs
I'm standing here, I'm not scared
I'm all that's left between you and them
The final guard, the last to defend
I took an oath when I was young
And I'll honor it till my breath is done

They're coming closer to the door
But I won't let them take you anymore

For the queen I'll stand and fight
For the queen through the darkest night
I swore an oath I'll never break
I'll give my life for your sake
For the queen I'll hold the line
For the queen until the end of time
I am the blade before they strike
For the queen, I give my life

We grew up running through these halls
Two girls who climbed these very walls
Before you wore the golden crown
You were my friend, my world, my sound
We made our promises beneath the stars
That we'd protect each other from the scars
Now you're the queen and I'm your shield
But you're still the friend I've always held

I hear them pounding at the door
But I will stand and fight once more

For the queen I'll stand my ground
For the queen I'll face them down
I swore an oath that's carved in stone
You'll never face this threat alone
For the queen I'll draw my blade
For the queen, I'm not afraid
No step beyond this line they'll take
For the queen, for my friend, I won't break

The doors explode, they're flooding in
I raise my sword and I begin
The battle that I've trained my life
I am the storm, I am the strife
For all the years we stood as one
For every battle yet to come
I'll fight until my body breaks
I'll give you time for your escape

For the queen I stand and bleed
For the queen I'm all you need
My oath is more than duty now
It's friendship, love, it's my vow
For the queen I'll face the horde
For the queen with shield and sword
They'll remember me when I'm gone
For the queen, I will hold on

The clash of steel, the battle cry
I see her running, reaching high
For the passage that will set her free
As enemies surround me
My sword still swinging, body worn
But she's escaping through the storm
I don't know if I'll see the dawn
But I kept my oath, she is gone
