Death of a Knight
Anthony Phillips

All the world's a stage,
A friend of mine, he sometimes said,
And though he tried to show the way,
They only care about his name.

Love is for the fool,
A blind old man, he always said,
But of it's joys he sometimes spoke
And then it seemed, he could see.

Life is for the strong,
A travelling monk, he told me once
But of the weak, he never spoke
Though their cries beat on his ears.

I stood my gun in hand
The swallow flew to meet his love
And as they touched, I shot him down
But now it's me that can't fly.
