The time it takes lingers more than a night
The results that come will never come to your sight
I need your trust that this will be done
What do you say oh kingdom’s son?”
There was no question in Roland’s mind
His chance for redemption left him blind
He gave his word to the woman
Closing his eyes in order to summon
The courage it would take to greet the hereafter
A fate he could not ignore no matter
If his nerves were slightly frayed
It would repay the part he played
In betraying the heart of the girl long ago
He hoped his sacrifice was enough to show
The surrendered himself with a calm spirit
Praying that his people would not forget
What it means to be a human being
And that talk means nothing with no action worth seeing
He waited for his time to come
Waiting for his nightmare to be over and done
When nothing happened he opened his eyes
Only to be met with dread and surprise
