Born the youngest daughter of a king
In a land of peace and harmony
Taking first steps and speaking first words
Learning and growing
The kingdom at peace
A graceful princess
Now wild and full of adventure
Choosing sword over duty
Eligible gentlemen flock towards her beauty
Kneeling with a request for her hand
Reject, renounce, run away
A sole traveller, destined to see the world
Set sail for the sea
Devoted hands guide mild tides
Canvas captures gusts, ropes fly
Waves crash and wind howls
Tossed from the ship
Rolling, tumbling, trying to break free
An omnipresent darkness brings panic and fear
A hand claims flesh returning the soul to the living
Burning lungs gasp for nectar
Scrambling for purchase on debris
Exhilaration from the wreckage
Retreating home for shelter
Discovers wasteland
Royal house extinguished
Single heir survives
A kingdom turns to war
The princess prepares for battle
Restoring blade and armour
Her land will know peace again
