Vows once sacred broken, not a thing they meant
Secrets still unspoken, into darkness a Knight's descent
This once noble, holy man, now a shadow of his former form
Once sworn to justice and the light, now to darkness is he sworn
The Knight of Shadow, the betrayer true, his honor cast aside
Forever cast out from holy light, in shadow he must hide
A sword of darkness, bloodstained and black
Waiting in darkness, to spring, attack
The Knight of Shadow within the dark
Stands in silece, a silhouette stark
Sacred vows now broken, in shadow he now resides
Secret deeds unspoken, but to the shadows he confides
In darkness he shall whisper, from now to end of time
A shade within the shadow, until the Reaper's bell does chime.
