Fantasy

by Big Willie

Tell me a story
of places of honor and glory
of victory, defeat, of fantasy and shame
spin me aworld of beauty, and hatred
tell me a story
of places of honor and glory
of victory, defeat, fantasy, and shame
spin me a world of beauty and hatred
of anger, of love
of principalities and powers above
who'll strip a man of dignity and pride
and leave him naked with nowhere to hide
and out of him create a hero surrounded by
mystery, legend, and prophecy
let him experience the power of defeat and misery
and then bring him up into the pages of history
let him lose, love, find and gain
and in the end only victory will remain
yes spin me that wonderful story
of places, of honor, and glory
and I... I will read
lost for days in the pages you have decreed
and in the end heave a great sigh
and cry.... cry for another book to help me get by
