A New Path

Into the darkness
I ride upon the night
Into the unknown
No path before me
Long in the distance
A fire burning bright
The city I once knew
Aflame in the morning light

Exiled to walk alone
Watching helplessly as they die
A knight who once served the throne
Banished from the land

But I
Will never give up
Until my blinded eyes
See justice
For pushing me aside
I'll find a new path
A new beginning
And I'll keep searching
Until my life is spent

Lost in the darkness
Questioning my end
Longing to retrace
The path behind me
Far in the distance
Their torches ignite
But my blade of truth
Is aflame in the morning light

Exiled to walk alone
Watching helplessly as they die
A knight who once served the throne
Banished from the land

But I
Will never give up
Until my blinded eyes
See justice
For pushing me aside
I'll find a new path
A new beginning
And I'll keep searching
Until my life is spent

And for all my courage
I am still entrenched in fear
Long ago, a face of pride
Now a nameless man waiting to die
But in my heart, I know I'll rise
Not someone new, but as the man I left behind
