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
