The Dark Knight

The field before him, he rode into the night
Like his ancestors before him he prepared for the fight
The generals gathered, combined their might
He rode onward, a true dark knight

Relieved when home he reached,
He knew that the wall must not be breached
Then they appeared, prepared to siege
The king barely stirred, then summoned his liege

The dark knight burst through the hall
He had heard and answered his king’s call
He must go out and destroy the black thrall
Destroy those who threatened the wall

With a sweeping bow he drew his blade
Then turned to face the ominous raid
He knew the cowards would have rather stayed
Only he could complete this perilous crusade

When he drew near, the demons recoiled in fear
With pointed spear, their crimson blood he would smear
With flame in hand their bodies he would sear
As the carnage ensued their screams were sincere

Throat after throat the knight did slit
He allowed the generals not one single hit
But they had one weapon they would not omit
When it was used the dark knight’s life would be remit

In the end the knight fought and prevailed
The kingdom would never again be assailed
Upon the wall a banner was nailed
Although the black generals caused him to be ailed
The dark knight fought to the last and never failed
