The knight

On the road where the Lion and the Raven meet

At the crossroad where kongs and queens admit defeat

On the land scorched with faith, hopes amd dreams

That one man stands firmly grounded on his feet

 

He pleaded allegiance to the gods of war

He prayed to never draw his sword

Nor deliver a soul to the Netherworld

Unless that soul is begging for

 

He stands alone on his throne of ice

His friends no more than a raven and a Scythe

He awaits for those who seek the truth

The key to wisdom, magic, sanity and youth

 

The words he utters are forever the same:

The moment you stand before me with no shame

When you let me show you that which you don't want to see

Will be the moment when you acknowledge your own insanity

 

Fear not, poor sinful mortal soul that you are

You can't get lost in something that you know

But you can only let yourself to roam

And meet the darkest corners of your soul

 

You all came seeking for the philosopher's stone

Yet all I offer you are the words you chose to ignore

Because your fear of fear itself and of yourself

Are all that keep you blind, insane and deaf

 

I cannot offer redemption nor revenge

Those are for you to seek or change

What I can do is make you choose

Between the past, present and future you

 

Not once has he delivered the will of the Scythe

Plunging poor lost souls in the divine hell

For that is where freedom and peace dwell

Hidden away from world's duality of wrong and right

 

Few are those who get to keep their life

And fewer are those who offer thanks to this dark knight

But those who enter in the labyrinth of mindless self

And face, forgive and resurrect their own belief

Will stand victorious in their own freedom and free will

 

And so the days of this dark knight still pass

Protecting his own throne of ice from all of us

Locking both angels and demons through a midnight mass

Tightening his grip on the infinite kingdom of madness
