White steel Black blood One curse They sing of silver, sing of light Of banners dancing in the dawn They do not see beneath my gloves The claws that slowly carry on I hunt the things that stalk the roads The fangs that hide in forest deep Yet every beast that meets my blade Leaves one more shadow I must keep Moon above Hide your face I know too well what I became I am the wolf in white armor A holy knight with a hunter's heart The bells still ring when I ride home Though I have wandered far too dark No saint survives a curse like mine Yet still I stand between the lines A child once asked if monsters cry I could not look him in the eye For every scar upon my skin Was carved by battles fought within If someday silver finds my chest Do not mourn and do not pray Just tell the bards I kept my watch And held the dark another day I am the wolf in white armor No perfect soul beneath the steel If evil wears a human face Then monsters too may sometimes kneel Remember not the beast I bore Remember what I fought it for Leave my helm beside the fire And let the old songs fade
