How the Mighty Fall
Once upon another time in golden days of yore,
Before the waves of history did crash upon our shore,
A Royal Prince strode through the land, his armour bright did gleam.
The most eligible bachelor that Erdreja had ever seen.
Ladies to the left of him, ladies to the right.
See our noble clergyman try to duck away in fright.
But the one who runs the fastest is the one who’s doomed to fall.
For the snare that’s right in front of you is the one you never see at all.
The Dragon lords of Erin played the diplomatic game.
An alliance with the royal house clearly was their aim.
A matchmaker came visiting with arrangements to discus.
But an empty throne was all she found, with a Crown-Prince-shaped cloud of dust.
I heard a rumour once when the mages were in town,
That they tried their arcane skills to pin our beefcake down.
But when they came to test results they got a huge surprise
As the fastest Crown-Prince in the west simply vanished before their eyes.
It’s a universal truth acknowledged far and wide
That a King-in-waiting needs a Queen by his side.
A noble woman, highly born, gentle, wise and sweet.
Could this be the description of the lady that he’d like to meet?
With proposals on all sides out Prince was overwhelmed.
It seemed that this romantic misery would never end.
But Celestial salvation came most unexpectedly.
Could it be that our elusive prince may finally bend his knee?
