[Capt Jack]

Not Your Ordinary Fairy Tale

A knight at the ready
To conquer the day
To the dragon did march
But fell by the way

The knight would cry out
As loud as he could
For strength not forthcoming
No justice, no good.

No slayer was he
No righter of wrongs
No tales would be told
No verses, no songs

His heart lay in pieces
His limbs cold and numb
His eyes staring blindly
At the world, deaf and dumb

The battle was lost
Long before he’d arrive
No survivors were found
Not one left alive

And the dragon un-stirring
Unmoved by the day
Upon his mountain of death
Still awaiting his prey

No damsels were rescued
No evils undone
No treasures were captured
No walks in the sun

So this story is over
No moral is found
Just an unending silence
As the world keeps turning ‘round.
