The Hero Of Old

It's strange what human beings will do for love.
We march right on in to love like were freaking Lancelot
On our gallant steed
With no real concept of the dragons that await us.
But we do it anyway,
WHY?
You may ask-
Because deep down in our heart,
In the darkest little corner
We still believe in that timeless fairy tale:
Love conquers all.
YES! LOVE WILL SOLVE EVERY ONE OF OUR LITTLE MEANINGLESS PROBLEMS!!
Of course,
What else is it there for?
And Lancelot gets throw all over the castle
It's embarrassing how badly he can be broken,
Because the heart is supposed to be stronger than that
Right? RIGHT???????
It's strange what we'd do  
To find a sense of meaning,
Belonging.
Even though we get our asses whooped
TIME AND TIME AGAIN,
We still march in on our white horse
Trumpets blaring
Banners waving
Like we are somebody important,
Not just some lousy peasant
Trying to belong in a world
That no one is meant for.
So where the hell is my horse?
Start up the trumpets
And dust off the banners,
Because I'm going in.
