Confession

Glory of the breaking dawn
Shall burn the deeds of sinful night,
The Lord will grant us in return
A brand new day with his delight.

Glory of the breaking dawn
Shall burn the deeds of sinful night,
The Lord will grant us in return
A brand new day with his delight.

Knight errant stands beside the church,
This place is distant, pure and sole,
He holds a Bible and a torch,
Misfortune weighs upon his soul.

He dares not enter such a place,
His mind is sharp, but soul is banned.
His faith is puddled with disgrace,
His cause is doomed and he is damned.

A nasty trick was played on him.
Life is a weird, sinister game,
It was dramatically grim
When heart got marked with female's name.

One day on military service
He fought in a severe battle.
A rusty sword on evil purpose
Pierced him, which was so fatal.

There was no sign, no single light,
No screams and no emotions.
That was a savage, cruel night,
Knight errant fell unconscious.

But glory of the breaking dawn
Did burn the deeds of sinful night,
The Lord presented in return
A brand new day to fallen knight.

And he woke up, soft feather bed.
- Am I in heaven? Just a moment,
Are you an angel I've just met?
- No, Sir, a nun, and it's a convent.

The very moment, in a trice
Did soothe the pangs of all his heart,
Her aching beauty struck his eyes -
A masterpiece of highest art.

- Good morrow, lady, is that you
Who saved my soul from underworld?
- There was a little I could do,
It was the Lord who said the word.

- Then I'm forever in your debt!
I swear, I'll fight all fiends of hell
To please the Lord and day we met!
- I praise your faith and wish you well.

Next day the wound was almost healed.
He saw that lady, soul was pure.
He felt extraordinary ill,
For which she was the only cure.

But it's forbidden. Time to go,
There is no minute left to waste.
He said "Farewell" and she did so,
He crossed himself and left in haste.

He fought for glory of the Lord,
His wrath and vengeance were so tense.
His faith was strong and so was sword,
He fought for God with demon's strength.

But though there was a new affliction,
Which filled his heart with trembling fear.
He wished all that was just a fiction,
Because his nun was far from here.

And his desire was to meet,
To see and glimpse her as she sleeps.
She was his main and only need,
He wished to kiss her on the lips.

Deep night. It is so calm and silent.
He stands beside monastic cell.
His lusts, desires are so violent
And blood in veins is hot like hell.

- Good evening, lady, is that you
Who saved my soul from underworld?
- I am rejoiced to see you too,
I prayed the Lord for your return.

- When I first saw you it was true
That I'm condemned for all my lust.
My heart did cease to beat, but you
Just made it beat and beat so fast.

- Your sinful words offend my ear,
Milord, before the moon has waned
I want you to be only near,
My prays for you were not in vain.

- I have a hope beyond all hopes
That God will cause no devastation
And will have mercy on our souls.
Damnation with you would be sweetest salvation!

The mask of love obscured their eyes
And so were they a single flesh.
That was the lifetime's sweetest trice,
But then broke out a lightning's flash.

Glory of the breaking dawn
Did burn the deeds of sinful night,
The Lord presented in return
A curse and death to nun of knight.

Knight errant stands beside the church,
This place is distant, pure and sole,
He holds a bible and a torch,
Misfortune weighs upon his soul.

He dares not enter such a place,
His mind is sharp, but soul is banned.
His faith is puddled with disgrace,
His cause is doomed and he is damned.
