Knighted

The choice to bear weapons, is not by capricious whim
The sword is an extension of force, in service of a king
Cast in steel, the flesh is protected by an armored skin
The knight serves the people, of his exploits they'll sing
Those who are not worthy must never be empowered
For the knight is to be called upon, whatever the hour
Castle walls protect the few
But if foe destroys the towers
No one inside remains safe
And the invaders will devour
As blood, armor and sword in union
All must together act
For the kingdom to recover
Not to be an impossible task
