Knight In the Night

The knight in the night fighting off the darkness
A battle to the ultimate submission 
Swords aim to cut the opposition deeply 
No words spoken, very little transmission

A fierce competition between unafraid warriors 
Quitting is not an option for the brave at heart 
One on one, the fight seeks no promotion
Darkness proclaimed victory from the very start

Constant banging of weaponry with no signs of stalemate 
Dread is on the side of darkness, light resides in the knight
The faith of the world in the balance of two entities 
This is what it has come down to, a scurmish, a street fight
