Filler: A Time Killer - Knight's Night

There is no shining armor for a pale white knight

I cannot save you from your wants and desires

I cannot sweep through the night

And run to your open arms

I am not an image of perfection

A broken mirror

Of shattered dreams

And splintered pain embedded into hearts

At the boundary of open tears

The door closes and halts the flood

Washed back into the caverns

And cause a trembling hand

The stabs of pain through my throat

As the blood drips through my hands

Each drop staining the ground

Like fallen roses

The crimson scythes cut through me

As I fall back through the memories

My eyes flash as the words pass

Line after line after lie

The rain falls and washes away

And the scars remain

Bleeding and wounded

I lay

Tired and confused

I begin to fade into

The past

Becoming an invisible shadow

The specter of life

Haunts me as I journey

Through time and space,

Through every place my heart wanders

I see and touch

And live again

Through the world of fantasy

Living the if only and I should have again

Living, dying, breathing

Is all I can do

To retrieve the chilled warmth

That penetrates my mind

A desperate hound

Dog seeking the scraps

From the table of memories

Of warm touch that can never be

Thus I cling to what I can

Draining the life from those around

In hopes that I may return again to you

In glory, in splendor, in masculine perfection

Suddenly a crossroad

A choice between two paths

One a shrouded darkness

The other a mountain trail

My heart splits along this road

Across the valleys we must call

As the milkmaid and the cowherd

And our ravens across the sky

As for now I sit in glory

But a pale reflection I am still yet

Illuminated by the glow

Of a radiant sunbeam

Yet I can find not my place

In sunlight and joy

Pinned to the summit

Of untrue truth

To dive into the abyss

The chasm below

To fall into the darkness of the trench

Would be a betrayal, a lie, a desire

It will be different he says

And lies to her once more

As he repeats the past

And keeps his heart

Locked in a basket of lead

In his fortress of solitude

And surrounded by memories

He hides from the cruelty of a frozen world

Falling to the gate

Stars around

Destroy the enemy as you are frozen

Shed the tears over your murderous hands

And stab your heart

As your enemy would

Because your love and hate

Will be the same

And cry over your heart

Cold and still

Lying forever

Because you lost

And scars run forever deep…
