Twenty-fourth Move - Black


Black: f x e6

The church towers ring death's peal.
For the warrior-priest, the ebon now kneel
And murmur soft praises, his passage to seal.

And if White Knight doth seek self-sacrifice
No grieving Black blade will need hear of it twice,
Though such blood as we shed cannot nearly suffice.

On this altar of death we will lay now this pair
Two creatures of violence who knew not despair
But fought with courage to the end they now share.
