lyrics

Chapter 26: Knights and Squires

His skin's a blotter
Drawn tight, memory of the water.
Stalwart beacon of courage,
Raised in the day.

He's superstitious
But smart, blessed with inner visions.
Full sail, brave with the horrors
Staged from the Earth.

I sing of stronger
Degrees of honor
Than kingly riches,
Shone from the work of man!

But, lo, he falters!,
Faced with supernatural horrors.
Come, friends, brace him with his blemish,
As one we fall!

In every fellow
Exalt purity of spirit
From dust, rising to the glory
Of functional.

I sing of stronger
Degrees of honor
Than kingly riches,
Shone from the work of man!
