An Open Grave

When Kingdom comes Our hearts shall be brave And when hell breaks loose I shall be an open grave I was born on the tip of a sword Through the mouth of the deepest cave Time tried to kill my last word Compassion gave me the love I deserve When castle walls mark our beginning and end Honour was the only meaningful thing left to save The enemy of my enemy shall become my shield Prepared to meet the master I serve I gave the King, and only him, dominion over death The Knights in the killing fields blowing a trumpet And all our sins forgiven, gave life her final breath To enter a new age of open roads on a red carpet
