Your broadsword rests on cold tile floor
Quercus rubra waits for more
Tarnished pommel drinks the pale glow
Acer saccharum standing slow
Steel and soil keep vigil now
Knight and root share silent vow
Platform cracks where mosses creep
You guard the dark while city sleeps
Your gauntlets folded on your knee
Lavandula calms the memory
Rusted rivets catch the fluorescent beam
Artemisia vulgaris dream
Steel and soil keep vigil now
Knight and root share silent vow
Platform cracks where mosses creep
You guard the dark while city sleeps
Dawn approaches through the iron grates
Helianthus annuus navigates
Light will wake the commuter tide
Quercus alba opens wide
Steel and soil keep vigil now
Knight and root share silent vow
Platform cracks where mosses creep
You guard the dark while city sleeps
Morning wind brings diesel scent
Juniperus virginiana bent
Your helmet reflects the pale sky
Betula papyrifera high
No dragon comes no banner flies
Only spores and steel survive
Photosynthesis in the dark
Chlorophyll on armor plate
Shift ends with first train arrival
Thuja occidentalis survival
You rise like sap in spring xylem
Pinus resinosa breaks the gloom
Steel and soil keep vigil now
Knight and root share silent vow
Platform cracks where mosses creep
You guard the dark while city sleeps
Steel and soil keep vigil now
Honor grows where nothing shows
Spring reverb fades away
Roots hold the platform down
