Knights of Wonder
On they thunder
Knights of wonder
Through the fields
With swords and shields
People fleeing for their lives
No quarter given, none survives
Sir Alric kills again and again
Shutting out the screams of pain
Giving in to the red mist of war
A killing machine in a field of gore
The battle is over and they have won
He surveys the carnage in the setting sun
Half hearted cheers from all around
Amongst the corpses strewn on the ground
After every battle he feels the same
Empty inside but for a burning shame
On they thunder
Knights of wonder
