I don't need to sleep in silk
Or wrap myself in crystal
I don't need to eat from china
And feast myself on lamb

I don't need to walk on wool
I can keep warm by the fire
I don't need to feel ignorant
Or kept outside the room

I can know
I can handle this by your side
It's my duty to the ring
It comes with the title

Before the war
Before the rags turn to riches
Before the soldiers march one by one
Before the cold
Before evil rages on
I will love you
Before the storm

I don't want to live in silence
Or be comforted by glances
I don't want to love in pieces
When I can love with someone good

I don't want to get the prize
Or be given what I should earn
I don't want to see you cry
Though I don't think that I could

I don't know
If companionship is idle
I know no amount of riches
Could change my piece of mind

Before the war
Before the rags turn to riches
Before the soldiers march one by one
Before the cold
Before evil rages on
I will love you
Before the storm

It comes with the title
You should have to play the game
A soldier fakes his duty
And he ruins his good name
The king has served his people
He doesn't get crowned after all is said
A queen protects the king
So hand me my crown

Before the war
Before the rags turn to riches
Before the soldiers march one by one
Before the cold
Before evil rages on
I will love you
Before the storm

Before all is said and done
I want to be the one to tell the stories
I want my name, to be forever grasping your hands
Side by side, we wage the war
