Anybody see a knight pass this way?I saw him playing chess with Death yesterdayHis crusade was a search - for God and their sameIt's been a long way to carry onAnybody hear of plague in this town?The town I've left behind was burned to the groundA young girl on a stake, her face framed in flamesCried "I'm not a witch - God knows my name"The knight he watched with fear - he needed to knowHe ran where he might feel Gods breathAnd in the misty church, he knelt to confessThe face within the booth was Mr DeathMy life's a vain pursuit - of meaningless milesWhy can't God touch me with a sign?"Perhaps there's no-one there" answered the boothAnd Death hid within his cloak and smiledThis morning I played chess with Death said the KnightWe played that he might grant me timeMy bishop and my knights will shatter his flanksAnd still I might feel God's heart in mineAnd through confessions grill - Death's laughter was heardThe Knight cried "No, you've cheated me"Letras de cancionesBut still I find a way - we'll meet once againAnd once again continue to playThey met within the woods - the knight, his squire and friendsAnd Death said "Now the game shall end&quit;The final move was made - the knight hung his headAnd said "You've won - I have nothing left to play"The minstrel filled with visions - sang to his loveTo look against the stormy skyThe knight, his squire and friends - their hands held as oneSilently danced towards the dawnHis hourglass in his hands - his scythe by his sideThe master Death, he leads them onThe rain will wash away - the tears from their facesAnd as the thunder cracked - they were gone From Letras Mania
