Yet, it is less difficult than the quest
Of the one known as the Death Knight
Who treads a path that will kill him
And even if perfect in his acts
He might still fail the test
Some quests are impossible
With no means to properly end
If the knight must escape death
Age and battle wound his flesh
Whatever he does, he'll fail
All have an impossible task
To escape final breath
Death and sorrow, steal
From his life, as well as hope
It follows him
But the end is hiding in shadows
Bitter tears wash
Now burning his throat
Every mile passing, he is closer
And still, the veteran knight knows
He'll fail doing his best to succeed
He has to become aware of the toll
He finds a way to pass through
Giving succor to the wounded
Hope to the dying
Giving restoration to the hopeless
Comfort and hope to orphans
Defeat of death comes
But not in the finality
In providing a way to thrive
In what might be an impossible life
