7 Ballads Of The Fall: The Knight In The Shiny Armor ' Grant Me A Wish '



It speaks of a lonesome knight,
Covered in blood and surrounded with sand.
He killed the kill and fought the fight,
Dragging shame in his hand over a piece of land.

He looked upon, the burning sun;
And burning went the cross on his chest.
His eyes say defeat, from a war that couldn't be won,
Haunted by his retreat, by the Crusade's ghost possessed.

Till flung a piece of rock, and beneath lied a ring:
He put it on, and a sweet swan, he did behold,
She said, 'Master, what want you me to bring? '
And with no hesitation, 'Gold, gold and more gold! '

She snapped her fingers and in a blink,
The sand and so the armor, began to shine.
In a golden sea, he started to sink;
In a golden sea, ought himself to confine.

'O Wise One, two more grants to go! '
And this time he asked for rain,
'Oh sweet swan, let it dew or snow,
Coins of honor, the Cross quests were not in vain! '

Left now with one more wish to make
He said, 'Grant me fame and glory! '
And then the swan, suddenly was gone,
And he never survived to tell his story.

Drowned in his golden sea, as he, was never told,
That the sky wouldn't stop to rain, or snow, of his gold.
Hence, content enough, so for Greed not to crawl!
And that's Another One of the 7 Deadly Reasons To Fall.
