Empty armor
Black as night
Soulless and dead
The bane of light
Helm like a mask
No emotion or shame
Only two eyes slits
Seeking to blame
A shroud of the broken
Clasped by insanity
With a cowl to conceal
The sadness and vanity
A blood bathed blade
From a lovely betrayal
The kiss of death
Marks it's seal
A quiver of lies
And a bow of deceit
Shooting down those
Who dare to retreat
Dagger concealed
Until one comes near
To be stung by its sting
That all know and fear
A battered old shield
From battles of past
Every scratch and mark
Have a shadow to cast
Inside of the armor
Is ruins of a heart
Cold and shattered
Broken apart
