Mount your stag, my sword is waiting A duel, we're gonna have it out Follow paths where the night lets you travel Through frost and the echoing shouts Ride alone and listen for reason The wind whispers something to you The son of a savage, the son of a snake They had you for something to do
You've come close, the quillotine missed you You ran from the Crown with their gold The Round Table met, and chose me to find you A chalenge is all you've been told I wait alone, no armour to shield me The thunder slows to a fade My cold eyes staring to the edge of the silver Lightning strikes the blade
The tension's in the air tonight The night sky tempts the dare I can feel the distant fight You're nearing from out there The silence of my second sight Last rites, only fear
I'm young and you're old but the age doesn't matter I'm hard, I can take it, the cold night drops the rain Never question untold secrets, never guess what you won't gain I'm the lastting storm to break you, you'll swallow my sword and its pain
I've longed for the moment with passion and fury To watch as you cry out in pain Take a last look at the sky when you've lost When your shadow no longer remains Our eyes meet as strangers, no fear of the dangers The sparks fly, our swords strike as fire All that you hear are your worst dying fears Afraid of my passing desire
You drop from the dark, shaking from the answer You strike to fight the sky, yes I'm in the way It burns and takes all, life and what you wanted Where's your spirit drifting, it's left you here to stay
I've longed for the fire that's burning towards you The fool is caught in the flame Take a last look at my eyes in the reflection Unreason is rising again You've met the deadline, now back, to the king's wine Ride and return what you stole You'll never see, what the last rites can be Last rites only fair to your soul
Daylight is breaking, I am alive, you've lost with no time to tell The silence has faded, the Queen has arrived They've witnessed your journey to hell That lonely temper crawls, the loser's the first one that falls First you feel pain then you feel nothing at all
The chains that bind you are held by the captor The one you once tried to deceive I head down the path where our challenge began Take a last look as I leave The wind has lifted the rain, The Black Sword has been slain I'm forever, and I'll ride my horse again
