THE KEEPER OF DRAGONS BALLAD
Lady AnnMarie was the keeper of dragons
She ran through the forest from dusk until dawn
Sang of prince charming a man she'd never known
The dragons so jealous made sure she that wouldn't
Many tried to know her yes and me-self amongst them
But she'd fly away in reverie where no-one could follow
Keeper of dragons, maiden, princess o'wild child
Kept to herself, all deep feelings and dreams
Now the maiden still sits on her stone by the river
With wolves all around her, the bears and the crows
The dragons are gone but you and I still remember
Though yesterday's dream seems like so long ago
Deep in the forest where none dared to follow
* Liam was singing this ballad as Ariel rode into the citadel it
's story mesmerized the young sword maker who would
soon become fascinated by the young princess who's
reputation was remarkably spreading beyond the county
