Freedom

No quarter, no white flags
I come to you, a waif in rags
With sword in hand, the battle lost
Should freedom come at such a cost

Surrender wasn't in my genes
The fight was all that mattered
But I must yield, I haven't means
My army's torn and tattered

The words once used to blast away
At friend and foe alike
Have all deserted me today
There's no choice but to strike

With colors down, I shan't lament
Or contemplate my sin
How free I am, and so content
To let you win again

So shoot the arrow to my breast
Dear Cupid I will take your best
