Knights of a new day
The clash of steel
The ears begin to ring
The metal blade cuts
As the sword sings
Another one falls
By the wayside
Killing becomes easy
When taking another life
Silver winged helmet
Black crossed white shield
Death beckons them all
Into the Elysian Fields
The day of penance
The right of way
Words of the true knights
Passage of the day
The kingly standards
Wave yet high
And the unbeliever
Begins to die
