lirik lagu mercedes lackey - threes

[intro]
deep into the stony hills
miles from town or hold
a troop of guards comes riding
with a lady and her gold
she rides bemused among them
shrouded in her cloak of fur
companioned by a maiden
and a toothless age~ed cur

[chorus]
three things see no end:
a flower blighted ‘ere it bloom
a message that miscarries
and a journey that is doomed

[verse 1]
one among the guardsmen
has a shifting restless eye
and as they ride he scans the hills
that rise against the skies
he wears both sword and jewels
worth more than he could afford
and hidden in his baggage
is a heavy secret h~~rd!
[chorus]
of three things be wary of:
a feather on a cat
the shepherd eating mutton
and the guardsman that is fat

[verse 2]
little does the lady care
what all the guardsmen know
that bandits ambush caravans
that on these trade roads go
in spite of tricks and clever traps
and all that men can do
the brigands seem to always sense
which trains are false or true

[chorus]
three things are most perilous:
the shape that walks behind
the ice that will not hold you
and the spy you cannot find

[verse 3]
from ambush bandits screaming
charge the pack train and it’s prize
and all but four within the train
are taken by surprise
and all but four are cut down
as a woodsman fells a log
the guardsmen, and the lady
and the maiden, and the dog
[chorus]
three things hold a secret:
lady riding in a dream
the dog that sounds no warning
and the maid who does not scream

[verse 4]
then off the lady pulls her cloak
in armor she is clad
her sword is out and ready and
her eyes are fierce and glad
the maiden makes a gesture, and
the dog’s a cur no more!
a wolf, sword~maiden and sorceress
now face the bandit horde

[chorus]
three things never anger
or you will not live for long:
a wolf with cubs
a man with power
and a woman’s sense of wrong

[verse 5]
the lady and her sister
by a single trader lone
were hired out to try to lay
a trap all of their own
and no one knew their plan except
the two who rode that day
for what you do not know
you cannot ever give away!
[chorus]
three things is it’s better part
that only two should know:
where treasure hides
who shares your bed
and how to catch your foe

[verse 6]
the bandits growl a challenge
and the lady only grins
the sorceress bows mockingly
and them the fight begins!
when it ends there’s only four
left standing from the horde:
the witch, the wolf, the traitor
and the woman with the sword

[chorus]
three things never trust in:
a maiden sworn as pure
the vows a kings has given
and the ambush that is sure

[verse 7]
they strip the traitor naked
and then whip him on his way
into the barren hill sides like
the folk he used to slay
and what of all the maidens
that this bandit raped and slew:
so as revenge the sorceress
makes him a woman too!

[chorus/outro]
three things trust above all else:
the horse on which you ride
the beast that guards your sleeping
and the shield mate at your side
