Havensong by Frizzy J

In a world where swords can flash from scabbards

And rend lives apart

From any quarter

From Friend and Foe and Family alike

When arrows fall from the ceiling

And screens deliver axeheads honed to shred through flesh

Our phones cast illusory spells and charms

I stand my ground and try to live

Unslain and untaken

I try to build a life that I can love

A life to build my family upon

Where I won’t have to trust in those around

A world where I can rule alone

A life where I don’t have to atone

For crimes of kin and king

Join me on this pile of bones

And I will build a haven

We can stand and heal and build

When all around is death and rot

A bastion of freedom

In a wasted land

Come, stay awhile

And wait out the bloodshed

Trade some tales and drink our ales

And maybe tonight the night will brighten just a bit
