Noonday Sun
The Black Knight
There’s a bond that runs deep within
A blood that doesn’t flow under our skin
A friendship that binds us
And a kindred spirit to blind us
The respect of two champions
Understanding the thrill of the gun
Two bodies forged in sweat and tears
Two hearts battling the same fears
Four feet pound as one
Four eyes blink in noonday sun
A score of fingers clenching fast
Grasping for what truly lasts
Though the moment comes and goes
Though emotions ebb and flow
There’s a friend closer than a brother
A bond forged by two who’ve suffered
Who’ve failed together side by side
Who’ve looked each other eye to eye
Who know the joy of vict’ry won
Standing ‘neath the noonday sun
The laud of crowds their lowest goal
The praise of others takes its toll
Building pride and chipping grit
Oaths tried in acid spit
Yet the promise keeps holding on
Never, always too far gone
A connection of piety
Binds another’s heart to me
Two warriors forged as one
In the heat of the noonday sun
A blood that doesn’t flow under our skin
A friendship that binds us
And a kindred spirit to blind us
The respect of two champions
Understanding the thrill of the gun
Two bodies forged in sweat and tears
Two hearts battling the same fears
Four feet pound as one
Four eyes blink in noonday sun
A score of fingers clenching fast
Grasping for what truly lasts
Though the moment comes and goes
Though emotions ebb and flow
There’s a friend closer than a brother
A bond forged by two who’ve suffered
Who’ve failed together side by side
Who’ve looked each other eye to eye
Who know the joy of vict’ry won
Standing ‘neath the noonday sun
The laud of crowds their lowest goal
The praise of others takes its toll
Building pride and chipping grit
Oaths tried in acid spit
Yet the promise keeps holding on
Never, always too far gone
A connection of piety
Binds another’s heart to me
Two warriors forged as one
In the heat of the noonday sun
