The Knight

THE KNIGHT [Verse 1] A lone knight dragged through frozen wastelands Snow and ash beneath his feet Pain like fire raced through his body Every breath felt incomplete Scars of battles still upon him Dreams of glory buried deep Winning never felt like triumph When the cost was hard to keep [Verse 2] Then he saw the smoke before him Blackened skies above the stone What was meant to be a refuge Now stood shattered, cold, alone Inside walls where songs once echoed Only silence filled the halls Fighting back the weight of sorrow He swore he would not let them fall [Pre-Chorus] But the night will not last forever And the dawn is drawing near Though your hands are weak and trembling He still calls His soldiers here [Chorus] So rise, rise weary warrior Heaven’s King is by your side Fight on through the darkest midnight Morning’s breaking with the light Draw your sword though hope feels distant Stand your ground though shadows roar Victory is coming, brother Hold the line a little more [Verse 3] Then a crashing sound behind him Told him he was not alone Through the pain he kept on moving Swift between the shattered stone Seeing now the enemy waiting Steel reflected in the flame Breathing one last prayer to heaven He charged forward in God’s name [Pre-Bridge] Fighting through the darkest evil Crashing sounds of sword and steel Shadows tremble, walls are shaking Faith becomes the warrior’s shield Through the fire and through the fury Drive the enemy to his heels [Bridge] Move swiftly now The battle’s turning The enemy’s fate is already sealed The King rides near His banner burning No power of hell can stand in this field Take heart, take breath The dawn is breaking These wounds won’t steal the purpose in your soul Stand up again Your King is calling So charge into the fight and take your hold! [Final Chorus] Rise, rise mighty warrior Heaven’s King is by your side Fight on through the final midnight Morning’s bursting with the light Lift your sword and hear the heavens Every chain of fear has torn Victory is here before you Battle on until the morn! [Ending - Softening] The night is fading... The dawn is breaking... Victory is nearing... And the King is still calling...
