Knights in White Satin

For king and country

And homeland pride

They go to battle

Lay down their lives

.

On magnificent steeds

Full battle dress

They lead the charge

Ahead of the rest

.

Swords drawn and raised

Reflect morning sun

For king and country

The battle has begun

.

Their fury unleashed

And fear denied

Through enemy ranks

They proudly ride

.

The battle yells

Swords cut to bone

For king and country

To protect their homes

.

From dawn to dusk

The battle thrives

Battlefield littered

With those who died

.

Weary, bloodied and beaten

The enemy runs

For king and country

The battle is won

.

The family's cries

Wail through the night

For those fallen

Who fought their final fight

.

Their bodies bloodied

Beaten, ripped and torn

For king and country

A country now mourns

.

In the early morning mist

They once again rise

On steeds of pure white

Fire in their eyes

.

For king and country

They fell alone

But united again

Knights in White Satin

Journey home

.
