    Thou shalt raise thy standard high,
    Thou shalt never see it down

    They shall tear thy flesh
    They shall tear thy soul
    They shall tear the name of thine
    They shall betray thee
    Whom thou grantedst forgiveness

    Thy blood shall manure the land
    Thy suffering shall be thy strength
    Thy pride shall be thy toughness
    Thy honour shall be thine armour
    Thy nobility shall be thy shield

    Thy life shall not be long in years
    Yet times longer in life itself
    Thou shalt die young
    Yet older than sages

    I shall drink from thy chalice
    I shall hand thee thy lance
    In thy cold nights
    I shall come and comfort thee

    Thou shalt feel my breath on thy cheek
    In dusk and dawn alike
    Thou shalt taste my lips
    They taste of red wine
    And thou shalt drink

    When thou reelst my arm shall sustain thee
    When thou fallst I shall be with thee
    My sombre locks on thy shiny armour shall scatter
    I shall lay thy head on my cold womb
    I shall nestle thy arm to my chilled breast
    Thy scarlet blood on my white dress
    My fingers shall close thy eyes
    My lips shall cool thine
    My tears shall reach thy pierced heart
    I shall mourn for thee
    I shall weep for thee
    I shall lead thee to whom thou servest

    Nice... Paladin-y, definitely. Very paladin-y. Has a good, *searches for a word but is too lazy to find a dictionary*... sound to it.

    I like it :D

    (*trots off with her entourage of elves, men, and one sentient machine :D )

    'Thine' is before a vowel sound (though some writers use 'thy' there sometimes or even always) or when 'yours' in plural would be used (I know I'm sick ;) ). Thanks for appreciation. :)

    Wow cool, Chevalier, just for a Paladin of Mystra, and a blasphemer hunter.
    This reminds me of someone but...

    Well, that paladin of Mystra was just a crpg character. RL I'm a paladin of RC ;)

    Anyway, who's that someone?
