The Challenge

I'm supposed to choose a suitor to wear the crown

I said I would choose as soon as I weave this shroud

They don't know

That every night

I unthread all the work I've done

Cause I'd rather lie

Than allow them to think they've won

Though I never thought I would resort to this

Just know I'll be here

But I don't know how much longer I'll last

Since we saw that storm

And though it was so close to our kingdom

It was far from the norm

Unless

Oh, could it be some kind of sign

That my world is all about to change?

Is it finally time for the challenge I arranged?

Though I never thought that it would come to this

Just know I'll be here buying you time

Time is fleeting, it's running out

Time to be the man of the house (Oh, buying you time)

Time is fleeting, it's running out

Time to be the man of the house

Whoever can string my husband's old bow

And shoot through twelve axes cleanly

Will be the new king, sit down at the throne

And rule with me as his queen

Let the arrow fly

Once you know that your aim is true

Cause I'd rather die than grow old without the best of you

Though I never thought that these would be the lengths we'd go for love

I would not have it any other way

And though I never thought that it would end like this

Just know, I'll be here

Waiting, waiting (Penelope)

Waiting, waiting (Penelope)

Waiting, waiting

Oh
