lyrics

This Night I Ride
(Words/Music by Knight/Winter)

Aaaih
Aaaih, this night I ride
Aaaih, to etch my will upon the tide

With perfect poise and piercing heat
I charge with fire at my feet
I ride to court the Faery Queen
And win her salty grail
Aaaih...

Bur when I reached her jeweled gate
My grand intentions there to state
She laughed and shook her burnished hair
And mocked me to my core

“What rare pride.” she said, “my girl
To think you’re worthy of my pearls”
She dashed my dreams upon the rock
And told me to go home
Aaaih...

Lady, lend an ear at least
for I ‘m a knight who would be priest
Before you cast me from this place
Pray do indulge me in a race

My life I give if you outride
My chariot till eventide
But should I prove the swifter one
Your grail of wisdom I’ll have won

At dusk my horse it took the lead
The lady filled my grail with mead
Wisdom won not through the race
But the willingness to ride
Aaaih...
