Sounds like an SCA or RenFair song -- how about in those archives?

I've found it difficult if not impossible to find the lyrics to any of Mercedes songs online. You might try at alt.soc.sca newsgroup - and I think she MAY have a songbook available on her site.

Swordlady


Sword lady, valiant, no matter the foe
Into the battle you fearlessly to go
Boldly you ride out beyond map and chart
Why are the frightened to open your heart?

Sword lady, lady of consonant skill
Lady of prowess, strength and of will
Sword lady, lady of cold ice and steel
Why will you never admit that you feel?

Sword lady, mistress of all arts of war
Wise in the way of all strategic lore
You fear no creature, below or above
Why do you shrink from the soft touch of love?

Sword lady, brave to endure wounds and pain
Plunging through lightning, through thunder and rain
Flinching from nothing, so high is your pride
Why then, pretend you hold inside?

Sword lady, somewhere within in you is hid
A creature of feeling which no vow can rid
A woman, a girl, with a heart soft and warm
No matter the brutal deeds that you perform

Sword lady, somewhere inside of you deep
Cowers the maiden that you think asleep
Frozen within in you in ice shrouded wound
That you can only pretend is a tomb

Sword lady, all of the vows you have made
Can never make your heart die as you've bayed
Sword lady, after the winter comes spring
One day your heart will awaken and sing

Sword lady, one day there must come a man
Who shall lift from you this self imposed ban
Thawing the ice that's enshrouded your soul
On that day, sword lady, you shall be whole

is tads so i can lern the damn thing
thanks all

There's a big debate about whether SCA filk songs are 'folk songs'.... sigh! :-)
