Silver Blood
Austin Anderson 2007 (Alabama)
A flame ignites, shining from the sky
Rain falls from the stars, allowing one to wry
One guides to the light
The other is guided by a false knight
The fear of war rises on the plains
Blood falls from the innocent, and from the sky, it rains
(Silver Blood)
(Silver Blood)
The promise of power deceives the fools
They jump into the wretched silver pools
(Silver Blood)
(Silver Blood)
Yet on the blood-stained grounds
Three heroes rise, the deception they must stop the sound
Two are pure, one escapes from the evil
The Silver Blood, they must stop the spill
The false knight, for he is the one that will deceive
The fools, it is them who will believe
(Silver Blood)
(Silver Blood)
The true heroes arrive
The false knight must not survive
(Silver Blood)
(Silver Blood)
About this poem
Do not listen to the deceptions of the false knight. Follow the flame that is ignited and burning.
