Anne's Danny Boy

if I could meet my husband to be
any which way I damned well pleased
granting authority of authorship
I'd meet him in a mining pit
and he'd be on his knees with a ring
a land bled dry still echoing
a promise of love carried on the wind
from a father's barren mine I shall become his
knowing I stand as a metaphor to land
so deeply scarred and raised
my knight's shiny armor reflects my dilemma
what protects him in battle is made of Papa's metal
while the dowry I hold cost the ruins beheld
for my honor charge on to the battlefield
consider the depth of my shame
removing his armor he asks for my hand
his eyes take in my silent demand
promise me never again
a genuflect follows a kiss on the cheek
a moment so holy it goes beyond chic
this knight awakened mine heart of neglect
may he rescue me from all I detest
while the sins of our fathers forever remain
cutting the scape of these desert plains
where man unmercifully stakes his claims
how can I forgive these trespasses?
innocence lost bears a terrible cost
in my husband's arms I'll find my God
when whom I love most dearly sees
what was done to the land was done to me
promise me never again
