Lyrics
[Short Instrumental Intro]
[Dramatic Verse]
Once in a village
Where elves did dwell
Lived a young maiden
Her name was , Janelle (Janelle)
Now, if you desire
Pull up a chair,
Sit by my fire
And her tale I will tell (she will tell)
[Happy Verse]
A sparkle in her eyes,
She set out one day
To seek adventure
And find her own way
[Break]
Through enchanted forests
She danced with delight
Her heart full of wonder
Her eyes shining bright (shining bright!)
[Dramatic Verse]
But danger awaited
In shadows unseen
Bandits and creatures
Cruel and obscene
[Instrumental]
Out of the gloom three figures emerged
The trio advanced on our fair Janelle
Hunger in their eyes & hearts full of hate
(Hate, hate, hate)
[Verse]
With a flick of her wrist
Janelle drew her sharp blade...
Forged in fire and long ago made
Fearless and determined (she stood unafraid)
[Short Interlude]
The first bandit pounced
And Janelle met his attack
Slashing his arm
and pushing him back
With eyes aglow, she held her ground
In the forest dark, no fear to be found
Her blade sang a song of defiance
[Pre-chorus]
Her blade sang a song of defiance!
[Verse]
The second cur lunged with a shout
Janelle was ready, she spun around
Her dagger found its mark
The cur hit the ground!
With a scream, the second cur lunged
Janelle was ready and she spun around
Her dagger found its mark!
[Pre-chorus]
Her dagger found its mark!
In the chaos of battle, her mettle was tested
She fought for her life, her honour, her kin
She would not be bested
Determined that justice and light would win
[Instumental]
The last bandit faltered, his resolve breaking
Like waves against the elf's fierceness.
With a final strike, Janelle ended the fray
Exhausted, she slumped to the forest floor
As night turned to day!
[Instrumental] [Outro]
