A KNIGHT HAS FALLEN
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
THAT THE YOUNG AND THE COURAGEOUS
SOMETIMES DIE.

WE WILL MISS THIS PROTECTOR
AND GUARDIAN OF LIFE
FOR SOMETIMES THESE THINGS BRING
THE GREATEST OF STRIFE.

MORNING IS BREAKING
AND GOD HAS OPENED HIS GATES.
THE SUN IS RISING,
IT WILL NO LONGER WAIT.

BUT I KNOW IN MY HEART
AS TIME PASSES BY
THAT WE WILL REMEMBER THIS KNIGHT
WHEN WE SEE THE SPRING SKIES.
