I Am a Bard (Lyrics, English)


Lyrics & melody: Anna “Anaka Högberg Jenelius

           C                         G
My fair adventurers, listen here
                  Am                                   G
Let me sing while holding my mace
           C                                G
You must not falter, and know no fear
           F              G                      C
But we must know what we face

   C                                       G
Darkness looming and spreading fast
           Am                         G
The evil showing its claws
           C                                   G
They want their tyranny to last
                  F              G                    C
Hammered in through cruelty and laws

Bridge
        F                        C
For rainbow colors to shine through
          F                                       G
The light must pass through rain
          C
The sun will come out
          G
Let go of your doubt
           F              G            C
Our love will conquer again

Ref
                C                                        G
I am a bard that’s forced to be a paladin
                 F                                         G
I will defend you when the light fades
                    C                                G
But to be honest I just wanna dance and sing
                  F               G                    C
So come join me, laddies and maids (and others)

              C                     G
How beautiful our lives could be 
      Am                                  G
If we could live them in peace
           C                         G
For now we fight so we’ll be free
                    F           G           C
When the battles finally cease

Bridge
              F                           C
For a bloodied nose and broken bone
          F                                       G
Will heal when given some time
          C
I’ll join in the fight
          G
Defend what is right
           F              G            C
Our love is never a crime

I am a bard that’s forced to be a paladin…

                C                                        G
I am a bard that’s forced to be a paladin
                 F                                         G
I will defend you when the light fades
                    C                                    G
I’ll be beside you to my flesh and bones give in 
                  F
And until that day
(And until that day)
And until that day…
(Silence)                    
I will be here
