Lead Verse 2 "No reason to get excited," The Thief he kindly spoke. "There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke. But you and I, we've been through that. And this is not our fate. So let us not talk falsely now, The hour is getting late." Lead Verse 3 All along the watchtower, Princess kept the view. While all the women came and went, Barefoot servants too. Outside in the distance, A wild rat did growl. Two riders were approaching, The wind began to howl.
