Sakor's Flame

When my mom tried to teach me sewing
She c'd'have easily been killed
And my fate to join the kitchen-girls
Has never been fulfilled.
I never cared for dresses
And was never shy and kind.
And finally my father sighed:
Yours is a warrior's mind.

I was raised with lots of brothers
But some sisters were there, too
And the girls were never tired giggling:
"What is wrong with you?"
When my brothers started teasing me
About the path I chose,
I stopped the mocking quickly-
Broke my oldest brother's nose.

Refrain:
Maybe I'll never settle down
Maybe I'll never rest.
But believe me- that's the life I want:
The freest and the best!
I never looked for peace
as if I had known from the start:
Yeah, I'm a girl a that's god touched!
Sakor's flame burns in my heart!

My Mom grew really anxious,
For a man, I'd never find!
To a girl with manners like I had
No gent would ever bind!
You're too boyish and plainspoken
Much too wild and far too loud!
Won't you put that skirt on, Ahra?
Comb your hair! Make mother proud!

Women shall not fight, you say
But for your warrior queen you pray?
Not all of us are fragile
And we're smarter anyway!
My blood is pure adrenalin
When to battle I can ride.
Before I fade to ashes,
I'm determined to burn bright

Refrain:
Maybe I'll never settle down
Maybe I'll never rest.
But believe me--that's the life I want:
The freest and the best!
I never looked for peace
as if I had known from the start:
Yeah, I'm a girl a that's god touched!
Sakor's flame burns in my heart!

Bridge:
And when my promised queen arrives,
My battle cry will yell
Bilairy's Balls, I'll follow her
To heaven or to hell.
I have no fear of being hurt
I'll fight 'til my last breath
I'm gonna answer Sakors call
To glory and to death!

Refrain:
Maybe I'll never settle down
Maybe I'll never rest.
But believe me--that's the life I want:
The freest and the best!
I never looked for peace as if I had known from the start:
Yeah, I'm a girl a that's god touched!
Sakor's flame burns in my heart!
