For Just One Smile

The war drums echo, danger near

But all I see is your silence, dear

They gather swords, I light the sky

Just to see you laugh, not cry

The towers burn, the city shakes

But nothing matched the joy you make

One glance, one laugh, that fleeting grace

Was worth a kingdom laid to waste

I knew the cost, I knew the fall

But I’d trade it all, I'd risk it all

The world may say I was blind

But your smile was my peace of mind

Now shadows claim the throne I knew

But I don’t regret what I chose to do

A broken crown, a ruined mile

All for love, for just one smile
