Lyrics:
Verse 1:
In the shadow of the twilight, 'neath the blood-red sky,
A lone knight stands in silence, where the ravens fly.
His armor gleams with valor, his sword forged in flame,
The last hope of his kingdom, to defend its name.
Pre-Chorus:
He rides against the darkness, with honor as his guide,
The echoes of his comrades, forever by his side.
Chorus:
For the kingdom, for the glory, he will fight until the end,
With a heart of steel and courage, every wound will mend.
In the final hour of battle, when the fate of all is planned,
He will rise, the last defender, in his final stand.
Verse 2:
The drums of war are pounding, the enemy draws near,
With shadows and with fire, they bring a tide of fear.
But the knight stands unwavering, his eyes fixed on the dawn,
For he knows his duty calls him, to the break of morn.
Pre-Chorus:
He rides against the darkness, with honor as his guide,
The echoes of his comrades, forever by his side.
Chorus:
For the kingdom, for the glory, he will fight until the end,
With a heart of steel and courage, every wound will mend.
In the final hour of battle, when the fate of all is planned,
He will rise, the last defender, in his final stand.
Bridge:
Through the clash of blades and thunder, his spirit will not break,
For the souls of those before him, every risk he'll take.
A beacon in the chaos, a light within the storm,
He fights for king and country, for the land where he was born.
Chorus:
For the kingdom, for the glory, he will fight until the end,
With a heart of steel and courage, every wound will mend.
In the final hour of battle, when the fate of all is planned,
He will rise, the last defender, in his final stand.
Outro:
As the dawn breaks through the darkness, and the victory is won,
The knight falls with a smile, for his duty has been done.
His name will be remembered, in the legends of the land,
A hero for the ages, in his final stand.
