Raging

Do I see her on the perch?
Is it really who I think?
Is she behind this madness?
Is she the missing link?

And the chakram slams into Xena
She falls and does not rise
A Roman moves towards her
I try a spear on for size
He is the first to die
The way of love forgot
Not the path to save my friend
No matter how long I had sought

Sword a comforting weight in my hand
This will not be our end
I will defend my injured comrade
I will save my friend

The sword moves through him so easily
And more soon follow his lead
They fall down dead before me
A rage has taken seed

A blade to guide my blindness
A dagger to his face
The world seems to change
As though moving at a slower pace

And despite those I stopped
We are both taken by the Romans
Not what we had hoped for
I guess a change of plans

I will not fear it
For I know we will always be
Xena and I together
In the new light that we see
