One Stood At The Gates

Ragin fires sweep

The corpses on the battlefield

Arrows scream, an ebon swarm,

The wall is breeched...

Where all defenders lie dead

Drowned in the blood of their dreams

With broken swords still clasped

In their frozen hands

Where all hope is quenched

And victory can never be

When dragons fly in the air

Covering the sun with their wings...

Let it be known

That then and for all time

One stood at the gate

Facing them all!

When carnage reigned

Within the dreaming city's walls

One stood at the gate

Proud, defiant to the foe!

He stood all alone,

Just a man and his sword

He had lost all his hope

So he was left with a thirst to kill!

Let it be known

That then and for all time

One stood at the gate

Facing them all!

Lost was his fight,

Last of a dying race

A knight in a world

Where chivalry is no more!

The fire in his eyes

Was the amber glow

Of burning ideals,

Of all that he held dear!

Let it be known

That then and for all time

One stood at the gate

Facing them all!
