In a tall castle waits my lady so pure and so fair,
She waits for me so sadly, with ribbons tied in her hair
But I know in the castle safe she will be,
For she has a chastity belt and I have the key

As we went to war in such a far away land,
Many battles waged in this place of sand
Yet I know that for me her love is real,
Locked away in her chastity belt of steel

And during the war's long thick battle haze,
Through the restless nights and bloodsoaked days
I know that my longing surely must be felt,
By my own true love, so far away, in the chastity belt.

Now the war is over as we head for home
Our bravery will be recorded in every song and tome.
Now we see the distant castle in the morning light,
And I know my own true love will be unlocked tonight.

Now I have her in my arms, and I know its been too long
as I reach for my key I realize that it is gone
With thousands of miles to lose a key, I fall into despair,
Until my love, my resourceful love, hands me another pair.
