Rider upon a white horse She moved like the clouds Swift her hooves barely touched ground The rider upon her Back Amour shone bright Justice, Honour, Peace, Of the land did they fight, Betrayed were they From inside the white ranks, Tied upon the white steed And this is where honour died, Bleed out, Drained of life Death seeped in to white Vengeance was born Hooves no longer pure Black, Tarnished, Sinful, Was the name of one who was once pure, But now had a coat of crimson, The rider now but tarnished metal Inside vengeance burnt, White, Intense, Broken, Was the soul, only retribution Would bury them both, Let there tormented souls be free, The rider, The horse, Upon the land, seeking out injustice Making hooves shed flesh The hand of justice sought to be Judge, Jury, Executioner, As word travelled, ears heard What mouths let out, The man who was white Not of justice, Not of right, Betrayer of integrity took flight, For retribution was at hand, And it burnt white hot, Nights, & Days, Past, before weary eyes slept, loomed over was justice Watching that which had bleed life, Had tarnished existence What wasn't death, neither life, Eyes awoke, In to Darkness they fell, As Rider stood tall, Honour must be dealt, For injustice bleed red Screams from below, Bellowing excuses, of jealousy No excuse to extinguish life, Justice was dealt upon the man For no longer would he have Sight or Hear To live what time was left To live in darkness Hearing only his voice, To know that this was worst than death, For no sunrise seen, Only shadows of nothing, No words ever heard only tormented by inner voices, Death would have been easy The torment is life. Retribution and honour were pasted, So rider and steed looked beyond the sunrise And faded in to dust, spread upon the land..

Steed of White Justice
Rider upon a white horse She moved like the clouds Swift her hooves barely touched ground The rider upon her Back Amour shone bright Justice, Honour, Peace, Of the land did they fight, Betrayed were they From inside the white ranks, Tied upon the white steed And this is where honour died, Bleed out, Drained of life Death seeped in to white Vengeance was born Hooves no longer pure Black, Tarnished, Sinful, Was the name of one who was once pure, But now had a coat of crimson, The rider now but tarnished metal Inside vengeance burnt, White, Intense, Broken, Was the soul, only retribution Would bury them both, Let there tormented souls be free, The rider, The horse, Upon the land, seeking out injustice Making hooves shed flesh The hand of justice sought to be Judge, Jury, Executioner, As word travelled, ears heard What mouths let out, The man who was white Not of justice, Not of right, Betrayer of integrity took flight, For retribution was at hand, And it burnt white hot, Nights, & Days, Past, before weary eyes slept, loomed over was justice Watching that which had bleed life, Had tarnished existence What wasn't death, neither life, Eyes awoke, In to Darkness they fell, As Rider stood tall, Honour must be dealt, For injustice bleed red Screams from below, Bellowing excuses, of jealousy No excuse to extinguish life, Justice was dealt upon the man For no longer would he have Sight or Hear To live what time was left To live in darkness Hearing only his voice, To know that this was worst than death, For no sunrise seen, Only shadows of nothing, No words ever heard only tormented by inner voices, Death would have been easy The torment is life. Retribution and honour were pasted, So rider and steed looked beyond the sunrise And faded in to dust, spread upon the land..
