Pendragon


Chosen son would be a king
His legend and endeavour
Earned the right to speak as lord
His life to stand forever

Within his soul a tiny star
Merlins oft to speak it
Black to be the war he fought
His deepest sin to seek it

Came an eve at sunsets pause
A Black Knight flashed the light
In kingdom held and guarded well
Into the licorice night

This kingdom filled a valley rich
Of water game and life
Trapped within a wealth of maids
His queen to be and wife

One road led among them
On a cavern o're a bridge
The Black Knight stood upon it
Captured beauty on the ridge

Tales of one were legend
At the quickness of his hands
Few survived the final word
Of Arthurs fierce demands

Shattered suitors filled the void
Tears shed for their falling
Black knights test as king to be
By final strike this calling

Brutal fury held this road
It's price would paint the gates
None but one could hold the land
Actions taken less debates

Faith and practice filled ones arm
Reason' s Happenstance
Tresspassing king to rescue thee 
Love's withheld advance

Starlight filled his loving heart
Thoughts of danger for his jewel
Blackness struck without a word
Bloodlust ruled the duel

Only for this greatest love
Held fast it's final pain
Dream's a king had set to flight
For Camelots new reighn
