through the rain of blood and tears

*my take on a lone knight's thoughts inspired by a drawing of a knight i did awhile ago...

i close my eyes and breathe in what could be my last breath, open my eyes and see as if for the first time.

demons breathe down my neck and i can see salvation just out of reach

my armor is rusted from the rain of blood and tears and my spirit long since crushed

the fire that burned in my eyes is now only a dull reflection of the burning sky around me filled with smoke,

the sounds of war try to drown out the memory of the sound of your voice

i still have hope, i still have you, on my mind as i fight this lonley battle.

the sword is stained with blood and my heart is stained by life itself but i hold it high and fight

the blade sings your name as it takes down my enemies and they fall by my side

i have victory now but for how long, this battle i fight never seems to be through and yet i know i do this all for you
