Paladin Rewritten

(Verse 1) In the shadows of the night, He walks alone, his heart alight, With a burden he silently bears, A guardian, with unspoken cares. (Verse 2) Through the fire and through the storm, He stands tall, his spirit warm, Shielding others from harm's embrace, With a stoic grace, he finds his place. (Pre-Chorus) But in the silence of his soul, Lies a story left untold, For he carries the weight of the world, Yet his own fears remain unfurled. (Chorus) A sentinel in the endless night, Guiding others toward the light, But in the depths of his own plight, He walks alone, out of sight. (Chorus) A sentinel in the endless night, Guiding others toward the light, But in the depths of his own plight, He walks alone, out of sight. (Verse 3) With every step, he fights the fight, A beacon in the darkest night, Yet in the quiet of his mind, Lies a struggle he cannot find. (Verse 4) He bears the scars of battles won, Yet the war within is far from done, For he protects with all his might, Yet his own demons haunt the night. (Verse 4) He bears the scars of battles won, Yet the war within is far from done, For he protects with all his might, Yet his own demons haunt the night. (Bridge) In the silence of his gaze, Lies a world of hidden maze, For he sacrifices all he owns, Yet in the end, he stands alone. (Verse 5) A guardian of the ones he loves, Yet his own heart, it silently shoves, Aside the pain, the doubt, the fear, For he must protect, year after year. (Verse 5) A guardian of the ones he loves, Yet his own heart, it silently shoves, Aside the pain, the doubt, the fear, For he must protect, year after year. (Pre-Chorus) But in the echoes of his steps, Lies a soul that quietly weeps, For he gives all, yet asks for naught, A silent hero in a world distraught. (Chorus) A sentinel in the endless night, Guiding others toward the light, But in the depths of his own plight, He walks alone, out of sight. (Chorus) A sentinel in the endless night, Guiding others toward the light, But in the depths of his own plight, He walks alone, out of sight. (Verse 7) Yet in the darkness, a flicker glows, A beacon of hope, a path that shows, For in his solitude, he finds his strength, A silent resolve, of immeasurable length. (Outro) So let the stars above bear witness to his might, As he walks his path through the endless night, For though he may walk alone, his light will shine, Guiding others through the darkness, a paladin divine.
