The Knight's Lament

Verse 1: Beneath the banner bright, he stood so brave, A knight in armor, duty’s slave. He fought for king, he fought for land, Yet most for love, his heart’s command. Pre-Chorus: With quill and ink, he scribed her name, Vowed to return with honor and fame. But fate’s harsh hand did steer him far, Leaving behind a lonely star. Chorus: Through battles fierce 'neath moon and sun, For love and dreams that came undone. A knight’s lament, a heart of pain, A love unheld, a promise vain. Verse 2: Through fields of strife and lands so grim, Her visage bright, his guiding hymn. With every swing, with every breath, He fought for her, defied his death. Pre-Chorus: Her likeness kept close to his heart, A light within the darkest part. He pledged his soul, he swore his vow, But destiny forbade him now. Chorus: Through battles fierce 'neath moon and sun, For love and dreams that came undone. A knight’s lament, a heart of pain, A love unheld, a promise vain. Bridge: Oh, how he yearned to feel her near, Whisper sweet words for her to hear. But fate’s cruel twist, it took him away, In fields of war where shadows sway. Verse 3: The final clash, his valor waned, A love so true, now sorrow stained. He fell beneath a twilight sky, With her name, his final sigh. Pre-Chorus: She waited by the castle wall, For her brave knight who’d never call. A parchment sealed with sorrow’s tear, Told of dreams that disappeared. Chorus: Through battles fierce 'neath moon and sun, For love and dreams that came undone. A knight’s lament, a heart of pain, A love unheld, a promise vain. Outro: In silence now, she weeps alone, For a love that fate had overthrown. A knight’s vow, a promise bold, Now lies beneath the earth so cold.
