One Thousand Knights

One thousand knights cross scorching sands
With darkened eye and scathing brow
Twixt shifting dune with steadfast plan
Toward foes at ease should God allow
Where desert-spines point oft to lands
Destruction will fulfill my vow.

No braver knights have ever sat
Alert on horseflesh so divine
The kings of all the Earth once met
Would fail to rise to ones so fine
The princes in their grand effects
Would kneel to see these knights of mine

Their mission one of greatest need
Defending honor of the fair
Whose heart was torn, yea ripped indeed
Along with life to villain's lair
The princess of my soul once freed
Will gaze upon such great despair.

One thousand knights now reach the hills
And mountains guarding that dread place
Where snowy peaks the rivers fill
And watch the fate of that poor race
Where silent peace holds stead e'en still
Until my knights retrieve her Grace.
