Knight's Oath

To what end does grief hold its charge?

Hallowed dreams of a lamplit luminous tomb

To whom does the foot soldier pledge his worth?

Radiant, in service to thee

No glory on this Earth

No reflection in this mirror

For all, forgotten, for thee, forever

Cleft helm underfoot, rage smote upon brow

Endless blows raining down

Combat in glory, war blessed by god

Corpselight still follows, their dead eyes still watching

Crystal ships dripping with ice

Warrior fallen in silence

To what end does grief hold its charge?

Hallowed dreams of a lamplit luminous tomb

To whom does the foot soldier pledge his worth?

Radiant, in service to thee

No glory on this Earth

No reflection in this mirror

For all, forgotten, for thee, forever

My love is dead by time's cruel hand
