about

Knight of the Black Rose, part 2 continues the story that started on Hunter's debut album: the story of Lord Soth from the Dragonlance books. A threatening riff introduces the sadistic and evil intent of the dark knight, and the melody and almost spoken word verses make you part of the conspiracy, as the knight is taken to court for his crimes. As he escapes, he seeks council at the altar of the god Paladine. The listener is swept from a mean knight to a remorseful, praying knight in both music and text. Paladine who gives the knight one last chance: to ride out and confront the King Priest of Istar.

lyrics

Have you heard of the knight who killed his wife
Who killed his wife and son
He cared so little for his wife he had the killing done
They said at first she disappeared, escaped a loveless man
But the blood in her chamber screamed foul play
Part of a wicked plan

Paladine how could I fall, my honour was my life
Within these ruined chapel walls, I pray to you, Divine
Show me a sign, I pray to you, Paladine show your light
"You must stop the king priest, you must lead the charge"

The council found him guilty
Guilty of many more crimes
He was dragged through the streets, sentenced to death
A disgraced and fallen knight

His army rescued him from prison
His castle was then besieged
But then the gods and all of Krynn
Turned eyes on the priest

Paladine how could I fall, my honour was my life
Within these ruined chapel walls, I pray to you, Divine
Show me a sign, I pray to you, Paladine show your light
"You must stop the king priest, you must lead the charge"
