THE PALADIN

A lone knight from the crusades
Upon his horse his only friend
They suffered together in battlefields
That flows fallen blood into River Styx
Where the ferryman awaits
For each soul a toll of silver shilling
The paladin roams the fields of tombs
With blood stain sword of foreign hordes
Of faces that haunts and torments his soul
Under the stars of the old moon
His restless sleep they come to him
Deaths minion could not take his soul
The paladin faith only Death holds
He has meet Death countless times
When his enemy life loss and slain
By the sword he call Ruunya
The crimson flame his right hand blade
He walks alone in this Elysian Fields
Of served bodies of comrades and foes
As jackals and vultures pick them clean
The paladin roams upon their fallen bones
Eyes cold, heart of stone
For Death watches his kindred soul
Take the boat that brings him home
On the shores of his homeland shores
His horse, his sword and his cold soul
The paladin never reached the soils of home
For Death won the last game of chess
He was on borrow time, death’s jest
As the sun sinks to its watery grave
In tune with the paladin last breath came
He stands on another shore brink
That the River Styx tormented souls swims
To welcome Death’s ferryman
A silver shilling as payment to bring
To his brother Death closer to him
With Ruunya by his side
This duel he will win this time
Till death and honor he swore
By king and sword he raise
To protect the foes of Christ
For only the death he got, not satisfied
Now for honor he must fight
The paladin sight in retribution
To seek his death again
In hands of an angel as cold as him
He will die again in battle with Death
Or he will be damn forever in hell’s deep
There is no valor to die in his sleep
Death be prepare to meet Ruunya
The crimson blade of aflame
That rages in this heart of the paladin
He will die in battle has it should have been
Death will not tricked him again
To take that honor from him
And leave a shell of a broken man
A wanderer in death realm
A paladin in eternal hell
Raze his heart since his queen fell
In a game of chess Death dealt hand
A game to die in valor or disgrace
A game he shall shove in Death’s a*s
With a broad sword flamed red with his wraith
Then he will died again in tormented peace
For to die in battle his honor binds his sword
With his heart a sacred pledge forged
To do battle with Death at all cost
To reclaim his honor his duty bound

KIGHTMARES

Upon the night a pale moon bring
Howls of wolves and hounds sing
The knight on a black stallion ride
Like the wraiths of Tolkein lore
Breaths of smoking mist so cold
Seeks the silent of my sleep unfold
In woods of the old forest I walk
Twisted trees and branch of claws
In the night that shadows walk
Upon the hill full moon rise
The knight on the dark mare rides
His eyes glow with crimson hate
As he rides towards me in haste
Fear now hearts beats as fast
To run far away from this knight I must
Thru the crooked tress with claws
That rips my body with crimson cuts
As I run thru the dark wood fast
His upon me the darkest knight I curse
A faceless demon with hated lust
As I stumble and craw out of his grasp
The hoofs of his dark steed try to crush
I was swallow hole into earth so cold
I fall endless depth never ending flow
When I awake to find the ground low
I saw crimson eyes keen and cold
With teeth that grin with saliva flow
Shape as razor this teeth that now growl
I slowly move back so slow
As this beasts howls echoes flow
I start to run thru this endless maze
With their snaps and growls rage
This maze seem endless I face
With these wolves at my back
With every pounce they attack
With every wall that block my flank
I climb over to avoid their teeth’s attack
My breath heavy my heart did race
To face the end with hound’s rage
Then I see the light at end of the maze
Towards the light I come face to face
With the knight upon a black steed
I stood rooted frozen my path seal
As the wolves on my rear reveal
I saw this dark knight hands of steel
Comes to grasped my life his kill
I closed my eyes to surrender my will
His cold breath I felt a loud shrill I heard
Echoes thru like loud defending bird
My eyes slowly open to see my curse
The dammed alarm bell my eardrums burst
Silent again the alarm clock bells its last
Lie back just for another five winks must
Then darkness came as dawn draws fast
Hoofs of that dreaded knight echoes around
Woke up as fast as my head heard that sound
A loud bang, a high voice I was up as I frown
Wake up! Wake up! My mother voice did drown
The silent rays dawn brings a new day crown
But when night comes I dread with fear bound
To invade my dreams of darkness will mount
A knight upon a steed of black as night comes

I WALK THIS PATH ALONE

I walk this path alone
A ronin, a masterless samurai
With no love by my side
They all gone to the sky
That’s is why I walk alone
With no loyalty but my own
This path my destiny atone
Just my sword stain
With blood and revenge raze
So I walk this path alone
No place to call my own
Enemies seek my blood
But my sword draws
First blood and second
My blade is now red
As I see shadows move ahead
More I fear will be dead
As I stand alone it came
A breeze of whispering leaves
A cold chill a presence I feel
The angel of death near me
He never that far I fear
So much death he seen
So much souls he claims
And I am to be blame
Sometimes I think he
Weeps for my eternal soul
For so much death I bring
Like a brother, a kin to him
Sometimes even angels cry
For a man like me, I sigh
How long do I walk alone
River flows red for so long
When will this end, Yaman
The god of death, my friend
When will your angel come
To take me home
Till then I walk alone
My blade will bled red
From the lives I will take
Till my live Yaman sends
His angel of death for me
Till then my life condemn
To watch the river flow
With bodies afloat glow
With the moon pale yellow
Now red as my blade
I now walk alone
On paths bled red
And bodies of my enemies
I walk this path alone
With faces I see
At night asleep I dream
They come to me
To torment my sleep
So I will not have peace
I wake up drench in sweat
I close my eyes in silent prayer
I will not fear my faith
As I walk the valley of the death
As he walks behind me
Ahead of me, beside me
For death is around me
I walk alone, a Ronin,
My path bled red
Till I am dead
