about

The yarns I like best are the ones that are yet to be told.

lyrics

I am the light
At the moment of dawn,
I’m the sun that hangs
In the sky!
I am the hope
That lives in the hearts
Of the fearful
And terrified.

I am the shield
That safeguards the weak,
The infirm, mad,
And elderly!
I am the blade
That Strikes in the name
Of keeping all
Nations free!

Paladin!
Paladin!
Answering the call!
Paladin!
Paladin!
Sa-vior of all!

Perhaps you’ve heard tales
Of the Battle of Mourne
Where I took down
600 men?
Or the time when I
Cut the face off a god
That was called by
The High Sahaguin?

Then there’s the one
Where I flew to the sun
For a bucket of fire
Pure as gold.
But I don’t say with jest
That the yarns I like best
Are the ones
that are yet
to be told.

Paladin!
Paladin!
Patriotic son!
Paladin!
Paladin!
Friend to everyone!

I have a helm
That allows me to fly
And a ring
To walk on the sea.
I have a horse
That travels through time
And pants of
invisibility.

I am the man
That all little boys
Pray to God that
They’ll grow up to be!
I am the man
No one woman commands,
Lord and master of
All I can see.

Paladin!
Paladin!
I once had sex with a shark!
Paladin!
Paladin!
A beacon in the dark!

Sure, I’ve been lost
In these caves for a while
Lost my horse, helm, ring,
Pants and blade,
But the fire in my heart
Still burns, and the art
Of the paladin
Never fades.

Paladin!
Paladin!
Answering the call!
Paladin!
Paladin!
Sa-vior of all!

Paladin!
Paladin!
Answering the call!
Paladin!
Paladin!
Savior of all!
Savior of all!
Savior of all!
