BARDS OF FORTUNE

 

For weeks I had trained my voice and sung my words.

I came before the king and met Jonnie aka "Silver Tongue Jonnie"

We battled it out day after day.

 

We stood face to face

Our eyes did lock

No truer words were

Spoken without shock

 

Written from the heart

No copies or imitations

Sung from the soul

Without hesitations

 

You spoke of love

Of pasts long gone

Of gentle love and pleasures

That only some would know

 

I spoke of pain

Darkness and hate

Of broken hearts

And tempting fate

 

The judge his decision

Would finally decide

If love would win again

Or if fate had just died

 

As love looked on

And fate stood by

The judge declared

"It is a Tie"
