Jirel of Joirey
Once a spy rolled boldly
Into Joirey Town
Seeking someone to question
At length
To see how her people faired
In Joirey'shand
And to judge for him self
Joirey's strength
Behind lay a man
Who would make himself king
Oh waiting the spy's
Word to go
So he asked of a guards man
Who is Joirey's Lord
And the man said amazed
Don't you know
[Chorus:]
She is Jirel of Joirey
No man is her master
And well she protects us
Indeed
For with her sword above us
We fear no mage nor blade
No injustice nor
Overlord's greed
Once the rest of her men
Into hell's guard she rode
From that place no one ever
Returned
And yet she came back
Hell's guard's treasure she'd won
And in hell her men's capture
Soon burned
Would she lay neared to death
At the hands of our foes
From her bed she was stolen
Away
She was taken by darkness
Himself for his bride
And yet Jirel stands with us
Today
[Chorus]
When conquered she went
Into hell for a means
To slay that foe
And free her men
And when she found
Her enemy's spirit bound there
Then to free it
She went back again
When a foul wizard ambushed
And slaughtered her guard
She leveled his keep
To the ground
And then traveled in realms
Of the fairy and worse
Till at last that damned wizard
She found
[Chorus]
Much taken aback
Was the spy by the speech
And he wasted no more time
That day
But saddled his horse and left
Jorey at once
Rode in haste to his master
Away
The lord heard his news
And then said they are strange
These words of a guardsmen
Unknown
But he who would rule
Does not squander his strength
So I think we'll Joirey
Alone
[Chorus]
