I see thee Knight alone, armor on, a soldier at war
Your stance is confident, your face brave against the sun
You have your orders, the mission is clear
Fight, with all your might fight them all off
Find a spot, take cover for there’s no time to waste
Safe in hiding, you observe everything and everyone
Sharp gaze on the world that threatened everything
Left you bereft, left you wanting, longing, hoping
He waits still, there’s no sound but his heart beating
He starts to sweat, no enemy fire yet, no one sees him
He smiles, his plan working for here he’ll make his bed
And yet he must stay alert so he checks his armor
Metal breastplate to protect his heart
Iron helmet against stray bullets and brainwashing
Sword in hand, strength in legs, he’s poised to fight
Knight at war, alone and caged, but what war do you fight?
How far can you run if it’s from yourself
How deep can you hide, if you’re in there too
Knight at War, the war was always within
You’ve got your armor, can it protect you from you?
