The knight rode forth, for to find his bride
Guarded by a dragon fierce
His heart was true, the dragon's hide
His magic sword would surely pierce
The kingdom he left, on a noble quest
On his big black charging horse
In armour bright, looking his best
Certain of his cause
The castle was surrounded by molten rock and fire
He crossed the bridge into the fort to find his true desire
He knew his noble heart was as fearless as could be
And from the fearsome dragon he would never flee
In the castle, the knight did creep
to find the highest room
He drew his sword, but did not see
The dragon hid in gloom
The Magic failed, and did not protect
The knight so bold and brave
he was reduced to crispy toast
The castle was his grave
The castle's lake of boiled fury lost its hellish fire
And the damsel that the knight once sought was married to another
His black charger, a horse quite wise, knew his master's fate
Went sadly back to the kings court, another master to await
Where he lies, is not remembered
The adventurer is gone
All that remains of him is embers
His questing days are done
Someday maybe he will be found
Or his magic sword
A Man may take his knightly reigns
And the knight will ride once more
