Originally i did this out of curiosity but then i remembered this was a politics and war trend so here you go
Original:
It started in a tavern on the edge of Mackeytown The talk had turned to stories of the night He drank and laughed with all the rest and chilled them with his tales Spoken in the shadowed eerie light
When all at once they noticed signs they had not seen before No candles burned inside the tavern hall The windows shuttered tightly and no light spread from the doors The blacksmith's son glowed pale to light them all
Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain Knowing as he gallops that he can't go home again Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done Frightened by his wizard's light, his old friends stay away He finds himself abandoned and alone His lifetime friendships shattered by a power undesired His life destroyed by things he has not known
Then one day the Baron dies of no mere earthly cause And all assign the blacksmith's son the blame In the night they come to take him to his death upon the stake He escapes into the dark that shrouds the plain
He rides the plain a year or more, searching for a sign Of a sorcerer who murders village lords And if he should find him he resolves to settle all Bringing his name with power and a sword
So comes the day he finds a tower black against the sun The power grips his body like a claw It pulls him toward the tower where his shame may be avenged And the castle is invaded by the pawn
He finds the sorcerer asleep secure within his spells His rage fuels power to strike the wards away! He slashes down with sharpened blade and takes the wizard's head And he feels his unknown power drain away
Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain Knowing as he gallops that he's going home again Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son He brings his friends and neighbors proof of deeds he has not done
But when he rides in triumph back again to Macke town Relief at his salvation quickly dies For though his power has vanished and he brings the murderer's head The village wisdom calls his claims a lie
Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain Searching for a power that he'll never find again Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done!

Once upon a time in the small town of Mackeytown, there lived a man named William. He had spent his entire life in the town, content with the simplicity of his existence. However, fate had something extraordinary in store for him.
After 25 long years of living in Mackeytown, William discovered that he possessed the powers of a sorcerer. It was a revelation that shook his very core. Excitement and curiosity filled his heart as he delved into the depths of his newfound abilities.
Eager to share his remarkable discovery, William approached his fellow townsfolk, friends, and neighbors. But instead of awe and wonder, he was met with fear and suspicion. The townspeople were unable to comprehend the extraordinary power he wielded and labeled him an outcast.
Heartbroken and ostracized, William was forced to leave the town he had once called home. Determined to seek answers and find his place in the world, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery. He wandered through distant lands, encountering other individuals with supernatural abilities and learning from their experiences.
During his travels, William learned of a powerful wizard who was said to be the source of his sorcerer's powers. Fueled by a mix of anger and determination, he tracked down the enigmatic figure, determined to confront him and demand answers.
A climactic battle ensued between William and the wizard. The clash of their powers resonated through the air, and in the end, it was William who emerged victorious. He claimed the wizard's head as proof of his triumph, carrying it with him as he returned to Mackeytown.
Expecting a hero's welcome, William proudly presented the wizard's head to the people of Mackeytown, seeking recognition and acceptance. However, instead of celebration, he was met with disbelief and accusations of deception. The townsfolk refused to believe his incredible tale, dismissing him as a liar and charlatan.
Disheartened by their rejection, William left Mackeytown once again, this time carrying the weight of disappointment. He traveled far and wide, seeking solace and purpose in his magical abilities. However, to his dismay, he discovered that the act of slaying the wizard had severed the connection to his powers.
With a heavy heart, William dedicated the rest of his life to searching for his lost powers. He delved into ancient tomes, consulted wise sages, and sought out mystical artifacts, hoping to rekindle the magic that once flowed through him. Yet, no matter how hard he tried, his powers remained elusive, slipping through his fingers like sand.
Though William's quest for his lost powers remained unfulfilled, he never gave up. Along his journey, he found solace in helping others, using his knowledge and experiences to aid those in need. He became a guide and mentor, sharing his wisdom with aspiring sorcerers and adventurers, teaching them the importance of resilience and perseverance.
As time passed, William's legend grew, not as the all-powerful sorcerer, but as a symbol of determination and humility. His stories became cautionary tales, reminding others of the consequences of unchecked ambition and the value of accepting one's limitations.
And so, the rest of William's life was spent in search of his powers, never to find them again. But his legacy endured, not in magical feats, but in the lessons he imparted and the lives he touched. The wandering sorcerer may not have found the power he sought, but he discovered something even greater—the power of compassion and the strength that lies within the human spirit.
