Black Knight

from One Wiltshire Winter by Archie Atholl

/

lyrics

I once tried my hardest to hide
The bleakest of thoughts that were held in my mind
Not scared of the dark or what’s under my bed
I’m haunted by demons going round in my head.

I tried being strong on my own
My ego said I could get through this alone
But who can I turn to, when no one seems to give a damn
Whatever I do, or whoever I am.

Black Knight, I have to make it right
Black Knight, I have to make it right.

I tried being true to myself
But my selfishness tends to hurt everyone else
I now have a whole host of sins I need to repent
But how to get started in making these amends?

Black Knight, I have to make it right
Black Knight, I have to make it right.

At first alcohol brought me out of my shell
Then it put me through Hell like a college degree
I worry if I trade in this currency
I’ll no longer be fun, I’ll no longer be me.

Black Knight, I have to make it right
Black Knight, I have to make it right.

Ironic what started as inadequacy
Stemmed from whether I loved hims or hers
Could bring about my downfall ultimately
Leading me in case with hymns and hearse.

‘Cause you my best friend brought me out of my shell
Then you put me through Hell like a college degree
I worry if we make this split amicably
I’ll no longer be fun, I’ll no longer be me.

Black Knight, I have to make it right
Black Knight, I have to make it right.

I tried to fake strength but what for
I may win some battles, yet lose the whole war
My ego like the walls of Jericho had to fall
They say that redemption is the saviour of all.
