For My Beautiful Lady

For the last decade I've crossed the world
With only my horse and the path before me
As company
I rode, devoted to my quest
I rode


From the snows atop the Great Wall of the middle Kingdom
To the jungles of the Angkor Wat temples
Was there ever a doubt that I'd follow
I wished only to dance with you to the sound of Pan's flute 


From every barbarian land to Rome's Imperium 
Your beauty is remembered from earth to the heavens
With grace and talents that would tempt Apollo
I have never paled in this righteous pursuit


The world is far too great 
To contain your majesty
And I will never end my quest
I refuse all demands of destiny or fate
My love for you is woven as a tapestry
And whatever the cost, I shall pass the test
