"You fool, I''m not trying to kill you! I'm trying to save you!"
There was a white knight riding on his steed,
Waiting for a noble deed.
Inside, a lady in distress
With blackened eyes and tears down her dress.
A villain with a wicked plan
Doing wicked things with wicked hands.
Look down, stopping dead in the road
"Mind your business" he was told.
And there were peasants, being murdered and raped
By an evil man in a big black cape.
Longing for evil plans
Where people are killed in faraway lands.
[???] for all kingdoms
Gonna need some help to get this done
Getting bare back, with his dis concern
That wouldn't cost most of what we earn.
Death of all flags,
This is the death of a man.
This is the death of humanity,
Death of tragedy.
Things are wrong,
He's long gone.
This is the death of humanity,
Death of tragedy.
There was a white knight riding on his steed,
Waiting for a noble deed.
Inside, a lady in distress
With blackened eyes and tears down her dress.
A villain with a wicked plan
Doing wicked things with wicked hands.
Look down, stopping dead in the road
"Mind your business" he was told.
Death of all flags,
This is the death of a man.
This is the death of humanity,
Death of tragedy.
Things are wrong,
He's long gone.
This is the death of humanity,
Death of tragedy.
