I was asked by one of the Valorn Idol judges to post the song I wrote and performed for the first round. So.. for better or worse, and very tongue in cheek... here it is.
Don't Be a Warrior by Jezzara
When I was a little girl....
Hair in ribbons and in curls.
My Pa gave me a dolly, soft
And I BASHED it till its head fell off!
Then Mama cried, her face all wet. .
She said some words I won't forget!
Don't be a warrior, girl!
Dress up in diamonds and pearls!
Warriors just get bruises. They drink and shout and brawl
You'll never find a nice young lord to take you to the ball.
So don't be a warrior, you'll never be sorrier,
than being a warrior... Girl!
I didn't listen very well
I thought that fighting would be swell
I've slain great beasts across Valorn!
Who'd know I'm to the manor born?
But my poor heart just won't be spared
'Coz all the men are running scared!
So Don't be a warrior, girl!.
Dress up in diamonds and pearls!
Men don't want a woman who can beat them in a fight!
They want a sweet enchantress...
who will keep them warm at night!
SO!
Don't be a warrior. Some day you'll be sorrier...
if you are a warrior, girl!
