Mutiny

Your father told me I can stay,

But he mistrusts my unfamiliar ways:

He want's to use the things I've learnt

Six hundred years of knowledge sorely earned.

But if we can stay together,

I don't mind the things he tells me:

Of defending him in mutiny,

I don't care if you're there, I don't care

One the farms they've made a stand,

Against the hated iron hands, they're uniting

They're backed by everyone in town,

And I must ride to beat them down, how they're fighting:

But I understand their cause

To fight against the laws, they're right:

I promised to defend

your father to the end and fight

The hatred's there in their eyes,

They'll break his might it's no surprise if they do it:

But I must take the other side

And somehow learn to stand and fight, and come through it:

Though there's little chance

That I beat bow and lance, I must:

Our love drives me on

For you're the only one I can trust.
