DM Kel - The Paladin's Last Stand Lyrics

These walls once held my oath and sword
With brothers I swore to guard the Lord
But now they stand, weapons raised
And in their eyes, I see them fazed
They call me traitor, curse my name
Blind to their own blood-stained shame
One by one, I'll cut them down
For I no longer wear that crown
I am the shadow, the fallen knight
In blood and fury, I ignite
No gods can save them, not today
As I make the righteous pay
Their honor fades, my wrath commands
This is the paladin's last stand
I hear their cries, feel their fear
The echoes of those I once held dear
They swing with valor, blinded fools
Still chained by holy, empty rules
In this place where faith has died
I am the blade, I am the tide
Their blood will stain these holy halls
For I am the one who now stands tall
I am the shadow, the fallen knight
In blood and fury, I ignite
No gods can save them, not today
As I make the righteous pay
Their honor fades, my wrath commands
This is the paladin's last stand
I hear their cries, feel their fear
The echoes of those I once held dear
They swing with valor, blinded fools
Still chained by holy, empty rules
In this place where faith has died
I am the blade, I am the tide
I hear their cries, feel their fear
The echoes of those I once held dear
They swing with valor, blinded fools
Still chained by holy, empty rules
In this place where faith has died
I killed the crowd that's stained
Once, I was the light's defender
Now, to darkness, I surrender
My brothers fall beneath my blade
This is the path that I have made
In their eyes, I see their doubt
But it's too late, there's no way out
(Aric succumbs to the darkness inside
And Rhythm takes over)
How dare you stand and call me foe
Blind to the rot you serve below
You cling to hollow words, false light
While truth and honor lie in blight
I bled beside you, sword in hand
And this is where you choose to stand
Beside a priest of gilded lies
While everything we loved just dies
Do you not see the filth he spreads
Or are you deaf to the blood he sheds
You fight for nothing, fools, blind men
You'll die for him again and again
He calls me traitor, calls me sin
But it's his soul that's dark within
For all the faith you claim to bear
Not one of you could truly care
So curse you all, you fallen knights
Chained to a false god's blinding lights
You've lost your way, betrayed your vows
Now face my wrath, your time is now
For you, there'll be no peace, no rest
Forever damned, the cursed, unblessed
Your souls I cast to endless night
For I am vengeance, born of spite
To ashes with your hollow creeds
You'll reap the rot from poisoned seeds
For when you face your judgment's call
Know this: I stood against you all
In fire, blood, and shattered bone
I am your fate-you die alone
I am the shadow, the fallen knight
In blood and fury, I ignite
No gods can save them, not today
As I make the righteous pay
Their honor fades, my wrath commands
This is the paladin's last stand
I am the shadow, the fallen knight
In blood and fury, I ignite
No gods can save them, not today
As I make the righteous pay
Their honor fades, my wrath commands
This is the paladin's last stand
This was the paladins last
This was the last
