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"
