In your service

\nYou’d stand your ground to tell us what was right,
\nThough all the world was baying for your blood.
\nI know that you would never cede the fight
\nAnd I would stand beside you ‘gainst the flood.<\/p>\n
I loved you on the day that we first met
\nAnd hold you Queen of all that I could be.
\nTo die for you I never could regret
\nYour love arrived in time to set me free.<\/p>\n
So I shall hoist you up upon my horse
\nAnd carry you to safety by my side.
\nNo man will stand to block my chosen course.
\nSo you my lady never need to hide.<\/p>\n
The world may howl to silence what you say
\nBut I, your knight, shall keep you safe each day.<\/p>\n
