The Lost Sword

In the dark days of fighting hence The Heartstone endured its' greatest peril The power of magic on the battlements Vanquished the wraiths Knights fought and won The arm, severed clutching the sword Fell into the Wraiths' black mist It never hit the ground A mailed fist, that could not be found A Knight can die... Defending all that is right All that is true The sword lives forever The years rolled by A sword can live forever Glittering bright Never, never Lose sight... That a Knight can die The soul lives on Forever etched on the steel Waiting to be found Heartstone looked far... During sunbright Under star The sword would not reveal Its' light, of the soul of a long dead Knight The soul of a long dead Knight A sword lost in time The missing light The sword, fell From the battlements In to the Wraiths' stinking hell Piercing the horrors within The sword embedded to the hilt, in a horror of rags and bone Blood spilt. It slunk off, in the night, alone Taking a sword Taking the light From the castle From the knight Where it lay, was never known The filth of rag and bone Covered up, never to see the day A sword that belonged to a Knight Amongst the boulders and scree In a glade of ferns A sword to reveal The light, of a long lost Knight It could be found by you It could be found by me A full moon rose Shooting star , fell to the ground In a starlit sky A sword waiting to be found The Princess of Stars, followed the shooting star Where it lay In the shadow of a wood, amongst boulder and scree The Princess of Stars, followed the shooting star Where it lay In the shadow of a wood Amongst boulder and scree, in the shadow of the night A glint of steel Amongst the scree A sword to reveal The Star Princess blew away the filth and rags The sword, glittered and shone The soul of a long dead Knight Revealed in the light The Princess touched the sword hilt The name of the Knight glowed For the sword showed Her fathers' name A lost Knight Found by a shooting stars guiding light A Knight cannot die The sword lives on The lost Knights ' light shone In the hearts of you and I A sword found As sword to place in the great hall A Knights' lost soul A Knight to remember to us all
