Lyrics
verse:
Looking for atonement
For the things you've done
You're history is dark.
But in a daring moment,
I thought this would be fun.
When I came off the farm.
chorus:
You're the warrior princess.
I'm the other one.
We roam the known world
Keeping evil on the run.
verse:
You're tall, dark, and beautiful.
You're not much for girl talk
You're not afraid to die.
I'm loyal and dutiful
And I'll sleep on rocks
Just to hear your war cry. (war cry)
verse:
We've fought a few pirates.
We've fought our share of tyrants.
We've fought sneaky demons.
We've fought against fate.
We've fought gods and giants.
We get mad and we get even.
chorus
verse:
You don't need a man,
Though you could have Hercules
In love and in warfare.
Yes, you know you can
Always do what you please.
It's your own affair.
chorus
