Avarice

A white knight will reach his kingdom 
Alone tonight...
The inside of his chambers will crumble and collapse,
Exposing a forbidden wall.
A hidden wall.
Hidden deep within.
Hidden behind his ego.
Tonight she'll sleep alone on a rug,
Clutching a wooden chest to her breast.
Within this curious chest will lie
The portions for his wall.
