Knight of the Masquerade- Part Two
back to his dwelling he shall go;
the mask of victory still remains;
home again...finally;
safety has been reached;
mask can finally be removed;
the mask of victory is removed;
the true face of the knight is unmasked;
his war-torn and scarred face is revealed;
marred and scraped from the heat of battle;
who is this man?;
a tear streams down his face;
this hard-faced knight breaks down;
he can’t handle this but he has to keep face;
he puts on a mask once again;
he must keep face;
remember your training...be strong, be steadfast;
you are a knight of the castle;
you must set an example;
be strong...be courageous;
show no fear...never give up;
what mask does this valiant knight wear now?;
the fear of revealing his emotion chooses the mask;
situational masks adorn the knight’s face;
ever there...unceasing;
what happens now?;
he continues on...mask ever-present;
a new day...a new mask;
situations call for masks;
never showing truth;
this knight once again mounts his horse;
preparing himself for the ride to come;
helmet is worn...relief for a time;
this strong and valiant knight has up until now been unnamed;
the true name of this knight...;
his name...;
he is called the knight of the masquerade;.
