I Follow My King Lyrics

I followed my King
To a war in a far Southern land,
Where man said he should prove his throne

I stood with my King
And was ready to strike them all down
But my King stood tall
And reached out
And took sword of his own

And as we did part,
Did he said to me there,
Before war again and feud could begin:
"If I am afriad to be beaten,
Then where's the pride when I win?"

In word and deed I follow my King
The wisest amongst us and fair
In word and deed I follow my King
The wisest amongst us and fair

I followed my King
To the door of a viligant squire
But a guardsman stood and barred the way

I stood with my King
And was ready to strike the man down
But my King stood tall
And reached out
And shook hands at the gate

And as we departed,
Did he said to me there,
Before war again and fued could begin:
"If I can't clasp hands with a neighbour,
Then how can I ask it of him?"

In word and deed I follow my King
The wisest amongst us and fair
In words and deed I follow my King
The wisest amongst us and fair

I followed my King
From his place at the mead hall's high seat
To where the hungry sat in grim array

I stood with my King
And was ready to strike the cook down
But my King stood tall
And reached out
And he shoulderd a tray

And as we did part,
Did he said to me there,
Before war again and fued could begin:
"If I cannot serve in the kitchen
Then how can I serve them as King?"

In word and deed I follow my King
The wisest amongst us and fair
In word and deed I follow my King
The wisest amongst us and fair
In word and deed I follow my King
The wisest amongst us and fair
