Girl from Avalon : Vigil

Alone.

 

I am the last knight

In my misery, I stand my vigil

upon this lonely night

 

Sword in hand and hope in my heart

I stand my eternal defense

against the nightmares that wish to start

 

Why? Why I stand this bastion

I stand it for her, that Girl from Avalon

With only her word, I took this action

 

Why I stand here for that lady

I stand here for her love, her affection

Her sweet face, her luminous smile, by gods, she is my malady

 

I stand afraid, alone, in horror of the dreadful dark

Will she notice my return?

Will she embrace me, and tell me with simple stark

 

That she loves me? Alone I ponder

Alone I wait and question

Alone the nightmares I face lie asunder

 

So, Girl of Avalon, whose sweet face I so die for

Wilt thou love this lonely knight?

Who faces the nightmares from time yore

 

Or will you forget him? His Oath

Though Mighty, can not save this knight from doom

Even in his eternal blissful troth

 

Lonely Knight, there standing on the wall

Will you accept if she does fly?

Or will you rage, rage and to her call


Alone.
