Leo: Sculptures

No one ever saw him come, no one saw him go

Infamous throughout the land, but how could that be so?

All he did was save the girl from her foolish pride

It was not he who cheated, tricked and lied.

Chorus

For a ring he saved a life and a fortune made,

For a chain he saved a life and a future laid,

For a child he saved a life and wealth he gave the maid.

It was not he who changed his mind and from the bargain repented

For it was she who changed her tune, the tyrant's vows accepted.

Full four seasons turn and natures wishes granted

(The) Past forgotten and the seed of love was planted.

There comes a time when we must face the agreements we have made,

Honourable men and women stand when the bills and bets be paid,

Generosity was this mans downfall from when the deal was laid

He'd saved her life, he'd made her wife, what reason to be afraid?

But worry he should for this new Royal was on the back track,

The whole court employed to undermine the pact,

To find his name, no stone unturned or horse given slack,

Spies abound when wages found or promise of the rack.

Upon his hill, around his fire, a dream our friend enjoyed,

Thoughts of the future, the happy times with his child enjoined,

Unaware a stranger hidden (near by), the deceitful queens envoy,

Listening in upon his song, the words his dream destroyed.

Chorus

Do not take the words of the lost (desperate) for granted,

For like any cornered rat these should not be trusted,

Deals made in lust and war best to be a'dreaded

Drawn and quartered as like(ly) outcome as nations all divided.

So take care where you tread and where you leave a trace

Beware of what you dream and always keep them safe,

Securely hidden beneath the pillow is the safest place,

(For) Things of the night, like all daemons, will always change their face.

Chorus
