Shining Knight


Shining Knight


When the sun sinks low,

When the moon rises high,

Where shadow whispers,

And children cry,

Rides a Knight in shining armour,

On a gallant beast,

He’s as strong as a mountain,

He’s as quick as a cheetah,

But he’s as arrogant as a pig,

And his pride has no end,

He defeated many foes,

But gained no friends.
