Lyrics: Jessie Lynn Starborne
Music: Jessie Lynn Starborne
Beyond the floating islands and above the rolling sea
A military scout cries out "I've found the pirates!"
And so the warship aims its guns and fires ferociously
And cannon fire explodes in droves as free folk fight for hope
And in the smoke and darkness two warriors meet
Amidst the mist and moonlight and the flurry of their steel
A general lithe and graceful fights a scrappy pirate
Who from an early age was taught in order to survive
She had to violently defend her honor and her tribe
And as they parried every strike they both knew
On guard, pirate filth! You won't find an easy victory here.
Look at you, all prim and proper. Do they teach you to fight in that air force of yours or just how to look pretty?
A whirl of steel, a clash of blades, their swords locked into place
An even match of guts and skill, they found their equal
And as they fight they realize their similarities
Two hippogriffs, a burning skiff, their spirits both at peace
As resent and hatred begin to fade
Their dance of blades reveals a spark that neither ever knew
A twist in life amidst the strife as smiles deepen
And as they swing and lunge with all their skill on full display
Their eyes betray an interest and a glimmer of rare play
Their respect for skill and spirit did grow
Your form is all wrong. Who taught you to wield a sword?
I didn't need anyone to teach me. I learned the hard way.
That was a good move. Where'd you learn it?
Survival, airman. You learn a thing or two when your life's on the line.
