Invaded

Surrender your campaign
Lower your flags
Stop the drums
Stop the flutes
Call back the scouts
Tell the centuries to stand down
She approaches.

Archers down
Swords sheathed
Muskets present
Infantry at ease
Let her in.

Prepare the feast
Raise the tent
Ready the gifts
Get the dancers
She is giving her love.

Wake up the blacksmith
Fetch the goldsmith
Gather all the seamstresses
Bring the finest horses
Adorn her with my love.

Get the carpenters
Buy the finest leathers 
Hire the jewelers
Build the finest throne 
She takes her place by my side.

Open the gates
Call the Truce
Let the demons take back the blackness
Reveal the light
Her eyes now light the way.

I burned valleys
I invaded and conquered
I gave nothing back
I answered to no one
Now...I love her.
