A Knight in Shattered Armour

One night, the silver didn't shine so valiantly upon his crest

One knight, whose pain he held deep inside his chest

The might of a warrior weighs heavy on his sword

The light he protects for the sake of a lazy low lord

How bright the smiles of the people he keeps from frowns

Violent fights stage through the lands to empower the crown

Dark blights shroud his morals as night becomes the new day

New heights he climbs to reach the heavens in between the stars

Old frights remind the warrior hell is always close and never too far

Tall sights on the horizon, now it's time to become stronger

How tight he holds onto the light, but for how much longer?

The knight's armor, now shattered bares his heart proudly

His rite, even with no guard for his heart,  he fights for chivalry

No plight can stop a warrior whom the darkness itself tested

A knight in shattered armor knows he can never be bested
