Glass Knight from Glass Knight by Joshua Burnell

When the worm came - scales of steel, laying all the fertile ground to waste
Then the words came - whispers as first
claiming any man would die, just from looking in the monster's eyes

So they called you here, like a tonic to fear
But where did you go, Glass Knight?
'Cause you'll always find there's nothing behind
the eyes of the young Glass Knight

So you rode out, morals in hand, strapping those reflections to your flesh
The fiend rose, seething with sin
But one look at his own face sent the monster reeling
recoiling and reeking to the ground

So they called you here, like a tonic to fear
But where did you go, Glass Knight?
'Cause you'll always find there's nothing behind
the eyes of the young Glass Knight

But when the people cheered
and came to the place
they saw their imperfections mirrored in your face
They were sobered and sickened
ashamed by their own disgrace
So they fractured and smashed you and kicked you into the ground

So they called you here, like a tonic to fear
But where did you go, Glass Knight?
'Cause you'll always find there's nothing behind
the eyes of the young Glass Knight

When the worms come, they summon you here
stir you from your crystal coffin cold
When the job's done, they banish you back
before they see reflections, the leeches and the larvae in their minds

'Cause they called you here, like a tonic to fear
But where did you go, Glass Knight?
'Cause you'll always find there's nothing behind
the eyes of the young Glass Knight

'Cause they called you here, like a tonic to fear
But where did you go, Glass Knight?
'Cause you'll always find there's nothing behind
the eyes of the young Glass Knight
