Striding into visions field
Sword at the ready asking do I yield
Must this task be handed down
Pass the trial to approach the crown
The deal is struck, the knight he falls
Passage earned into hallowed halls
Knight of pain
Strike a bargain and give way
Knight of pain
Singing this dark refrain
On this night of pain
Exalted sovereign lies in state
Scepter at hand bids me wait
Diplomats of legend hold no sway
Yet penitent knee a path is laid
The deal is struck, the king he stands
Realms coin paid to pass from these lands
Knight of pain
Strike a bargain and give way
Knight of pain
Singing this dark refrain
On this night of pain
Radiant beauty shines without compare
Wearily stagger upon the stair
Pale hand offered in pale moonlight
The deal is struck, the queens kiss had
Hero granted passage to darkened trance
Knight of pain
Strike a bargain and give way
Knight of pain
Singing this dark refrain
On this night of pain
