--We live in a broken world-- A reality where man must prove that he is true Wearing the white cape of justice Wielding the piercing blade of truth And puncturing the shadowy veil of evil Man must act Grasping the medals he is awarded Framing the honors he has received The small bleary eyed boy With his fathers helmet atop his head Will grow to fight his own battles Uphills And down steep slopes But he shall take up his fathers sword And wield it once more In the field of battle it shall cut through the shroud With silken cape trailing behind him And evil shall be vanquished
--However--
We do indeed live in a broken world And the greed of man has seeped through and through Infecting the positions of kings Poisoning the lips of law And in this broken world Where a soldier of peace as ironic it may be heard Will need to pierce the veil within himself Where the dark has slowly grasped And where doubt has taken root For shall he do as commanded Or fasten the helmet upon his head In defiance Becoming the enemy of the kingdom he once so loved The white knight of justice will choose And he shall be revered as the traitorous blood Who turned his back to his fellow man But in his heart In this broken world He shall know he still holds his fathers honor Forever and ever --Man's white knight--
Sometimes man must play the villain to save everything he cares for.
