I rode into town, tired and thirsty from the trail

The night was long as I thought of the following days events
Lying under the stars in beds made of hay and make shift tents
Wondering was I ready for what was to take place tomorrow
Or was my day to end in pain and sorrow

So, s it smoother than whiskey, but stronger than wine
It’ll burn just a bit, when ya take that first swaller
White lightning they call it, it’ll fetch me top dollar

For you are loved, held in his arms.

A love so strong it will never perish,
This band of gold, yet simple, means so much to me
For it hold everything I love and care for, as was meant to be
...

There is a forbidden place, in a land far away
Where the mist blankets the ground, cold and gray
Some believe it to be fog, others say its hell sent
Others believe it to be the breath, that a dragon had spent
