Based on the poem 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…
