you've sworn to fight my battle, win my war

you've sworn to fight my battle, win my war
that is your job, it's what you're known to do
yet I'll raise up my sword and forge to fore

you've heard my cries for help, and by your lore
you've sworn to meet the challenge through and through
you've sworn to fight my battle, win my war

yet there's a doubt within me, what you swore
has yet to come about, though I implore
yet I'll raise up my sword and forge to fore

first battle, almost won, it needed more
and now I seek you out, what shall you do?
you've sworn to fight my battle, win my war

and now that I request you give me more
oh, wherefore art thou, I am vexxed so sore
now I'll raise up my sword and forge to fore

you've failed and fallen hard upon the floor
you're lax, disloyal, I won't fight as you
you've sworn to fight my battle, win my war
yet I'll raise up my sword and forge to fore
