A stable boy with heart of a warrior-poet
with heart of the lion seal
with might beyond the lost of sight
not born a knight
but bestowed knight
in hardship and determination

In darkness, he spawns of dreams
to cast a fear upon corrupted
in nightmares
on his wild nether horse
raging through the night
stomping, humming
breathing heavily.. steadily

Away, astray, and array
has bled and shed
like a Alexander the Great
of Macedonia
and like a lion
against a thousand hyenas

the drums are pounding
the bagpipes echoing in fields of valor


"I am! William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?"

"Dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... our Freedom!!"

ALBA GU BRÀTH!
ALBA GU BRÀTH! ALBA GU BRÀTH!!

1314

The giant sword flying in the wind
A soul reaching the depth of mankind
Intensity of his eyes in skies of heaven
Fighting in a brush of hope
for an everlasting brush of Freedom

Nice, it has a nice flow to it. And to get really technical, it didn't actually rhyme, but what it lacked in actual rhyme you made up for with alliteration and it was actually really entertaining, it gets you hooked. 5stars
