Unbroken - Michael Kelly - (original song)

Wrote this one just after Pennsic. A song about an injured knight who doesn't allow the experience to defeat him, and about pursuing one's calling for the sake of it, rather than for the trappings of it.

And I sat at the high king's right hand -----Am-------------------------G And if any doubted my valour or strength -----F-----G----Am It went unspoken Yet although I might conquer each foe that I'd meet My hubris and arrogance proved my defeat Though great was my prowess, still greater my pride My constant companion whenever I'd ride I'd only my own inattention to blame When the mace struck me down from my steed And as I was churned 'neath the metal-shod hooves I'd no limb unbroken CHORUS: -------------------F-----G---Am Though I've been laid low --------------F---G------Am And my lifeblood spilled ---------------------F------------G-------------C-------C?-Am Though my body be shattered, undaunted I rise, -------F----G---Am My will unbroken Where once I rode proud at a great army's head I lived now my days from a hospital bed For months I was weak as a babe newly born As I mended bones broken, flesh battered and torn And when I at last was as whole as I'd get It was all that I could do to stand For my wounds, they had left me a shell of a man But my resolve unbroken (CHORUS) My return to the field left me humbled and shamed I'd no longer the might to live up to my name For my hands had grown clumsy and awkward, you see And the greenest recruits were near equal to me My high place of honor at the side of the king Was soon passed to a more able man And I sat at the back of the feasthall, unseen But my pride unbroken (CHORUS) When the star of my fortunes was still on the rise There was none had shone brighter in every girl's eyes But their sweet adoration and courtesy fled Now replaced with indifferent derision instead Now I see what I'd taken for love was a lie It was only my glory they craved And I spend my nights lonely, unsung for, unloved But my heart unbroken (CHORUS) Now they tell me that I should retire from the field That I rest on my laurels and set down my shield That my memories of greatness are all that remain But where they see an olive branch, I see a cane For the day that I hang up my sword and my spurs Is the day I'm truly unmanned For though weak have I grown, still my duty remains, My chain unbroken (CHORUS) Though my worth as a fighter has all but now died Once again, from the ashes, to battle I ride It's a lesson hard learned when I take up my sword That it's fighting that matters, and not the reward That my service to honour and kingdom and crown Is now all that I'd seek as my prize And so long as I rise to the challenge and strive, I remain unbroken (CHORUS x2) My will unbroken
