String The Bow

[Joey788]

Your ship is always crashing
It has been for nearly 10 years
108 mistakes block the door
They stand between her and the ocean

You see one eye from afar
Burn it out before it eats you

No matter how long I’ve been gone,
I’m still coming home

There’s a goddess on an island
She’s not as nice as she seems
She thinks that men are pigs
The saying becomes quite literal

Only Moly can save your skin
And get you out of this predicament

You hear voices of women
Asking you to join them
Stay away from these girls
Their song is only skin deep

No matter how much time has passed,
I’m still coming home

You finally wash ashore
Arriving at familiar lands
One more challenge is at the door
There can only be one winner

Suitors compete for love and power
But they can’t even string the bow
Only the poor manages to succeed
The beggar’s revealed as a king

After all these years I’ve been gone,
I’m finally back home

Comments are appreciated. Hope you guys like it.

I was mainly inspired by The Odyssey when I wrote it. I'm glad you liked it.
