We ask our lord today “We ask our lord today” To forgive those we lost “To forgive those we lost” Why? Why ask forgiveness For those who sought to destroy Render our world fictitious Burned our world like Troy They promised us utopia Left us with dystopia Burning rage sparks our collective will Render unto the gallant dead They merrily rushed to the battlefield We ask our lord today “We ask our lord today” To forgive the sins of the unborn “To forgive the sins of the unborn” Help! Help those in need Will our children see the deed? Passed on to us by virtue Now we pass it on to you Bone heaps and dallied dead Fragrance spoilt roses Left for a faceless grave Dystopian hellscape We ask our lord today “We ask our lord today” To guide our hands from strife “To guide our hands from strife” Prevent us from repeating What our ancestors failed preventing

Prayer for the gallant dead
Over the hilltops of yore Dressed in French lilies There rests a knight of days of wore A knight that can rival Achilles Once called the Blue Knight Clad in fine plate armour Shattered enemies in the night And saved every farmer Solid in battle was he Inspired every man to fight And feared none did he Even those who would blight But ran through a jousting lance Now revered as a hero in France

Sonnet of the Blue Knight
“Ill will bides me to write this But know your heart’s bliss” Relaxed I lay, Read these lines At once, I am reminded of you My love, dancing in the pines I remember you, gallant in blue As we departed, it left a sour note But when you returned, my heart flew We tell the stories and quote One another, as we raise our glass “Here’s to everlasting friendship”, we vote I have travelled the darkest pits of hell en masse You tasted heaven’s sweet fruits. And grew in demeanour and class Traveled we have, faced vast brutes And here we are again In the same spot that we met to boot I stare into your eyes, erased all my pain I see a mirror to my soul Blackened and vain Free, I am from my Sole Purpose in your arm Let us embark on a stroll Know my love, for all your charm I am yours, until the final knell I am there lest no harm As we gaze, I have fallen to your spell Life is worthless until I spend it in comforting hands Without you, life is a living hell Then I awake, disturbed from my plans Shattered, I realize, how I miss thee I have lost you to the sands, The cruel sands of time
