Once Upon a Time

A dark angel sleeps tonight.
The shade shrouds our holy knight.
Locked inside the armor deep
Is a taint barely skin-deep.
"Radiant soul come forth I command"
The voice is met with an echo of the land.
Whispers sailing across the wind
The reaper silences all who've sinned
Mute is the angel's breath tonight
Cold our angel wrought with frostbite
A few more footsteps a few more strides
Our hero mere moments away
Only a few more heartbeats will turn the tides
Alas the shroud thieves a breath
The angel fades onwards to grim death
"Nay, I am here. Leave not I plea"
Gently lifting the shrouds tight grip
Kissing angelic brow whispering softly
"My love for thy soul I promise thee"
Awoke a bright soul on this day
The light cast all ghastly cloaks
What the armor kept as pray
Our hero now provokes
Together as stars they will shine
A future with passion they evoke
Generations will speak of this tale
While they laugh, live and dine
But only two knew the true detail.
What fate misplaced can be found and replaced
