Track Insight / Lyrics
Just a tarnished knight, alone on the ground
My crusade faded, the world keeps turning round
I'll rest here quietly, in this Rome timeless square
Until the cafes open, and memories start to share
Dusk settles slow, shadows creep by
Italian barflies, sipping wine on the high
Laughter and tales, 'round weathered faces bright
As I sit with mine, forged in a bitter fight
Just a tarnished knight, alone on the ground
My crusade faded, the world keeps turning round
I'll rest here quietly, in this Rome timeless square
Until the cafes open, and memories start to share
Rome's ancient tales, whispered through the ages still
Ghosts of emperors, where I now sit still
My lorica segus, once gleaming gold
Now encrusted rust, with stories untold
Just a tarnished knight, alone on the ground
My crusade faded, the world keeps turning round
I'll rest here quietly, in this Rome timeless square
Until the cafes open, and memories start to share
The basilica's dome, a gleaming white silhouette
Against the sapphire sky, soft and without a fight
I close my eyes, breathe the Tuscan air
A ephemeral peace, before dawn's infernal glare
Just a tarnished knight, alone on the ground
My crusade faded, the world keeps turning round
I'll rest here quietly, in this Rome timeless square
Until the cafes open, and memories start to share
Sun soon ascends, the city stirs awake
My armor creaks, its slumber, now an ache
Yet I'll linger still, this silent repose
Until dawn's warmth dismisses Rome's chilly rose
