Warlord

I wrote this filk after reading a series of posts a few years ago on an email list. In the thread somebody accused Jetara of being a has-been. His reply, that he and every other warlord/swordknight had to fight every day because there was always some punk wanting to take them down, was inspiring. He ended the post with 'better a has-been than a never will be.' Even though I am a never will be, I thought that the struggle of the warlord that begins AFTER they get the belt was worthy of commemoration.

(to the tune of Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi) -By Feral Lynn


It's all the same Only the name's have changed Every where, it seems their gunning for me Another field, where the faces are so cold I fight all night, to prove I'm not getting old

I'm a warlord I got my steel by my side I'm wanted, Better Dead than Alive

Sometimes I stop to eat Sometimes its not for days The people I beat, they all go their seperate ways Sometimes I tell the day, by the weapons that I choose Outnumbered and alone is the only way I lose

I'm a warlord A sword and shield by my side I'm wanted, Better Dead than Alive

I walk these fields A sword and shield upon my back I play for keeps, cuz I might not make it back I've been everywhere, and I'm standing tall I've seen a million faces and one shotted them all

I'm a warlord I got my steel by my side I'm wanted, Better Dead than Alive
