Blood Knight

"My shadow follows me wherever I should chance to go,"
John the Gun did say.
"If you should chance to meet me as I wander to and fro,
sad would be your day.
My life is mine and light did shine
'til the guns, they did go through me,
So now I shall never fall.
Ideals of peace are gold which fools
have found upon the plains of war.
I shall destroy them all."

(from) John the Gun Sandy Denny
