Knights of old

I stand before you as a knight of old
My suit of iron glistening in the sun
A hero from the days of yore
A quixotic echo of days long past

Yet underneath lies a man of broken dreams
A man out of step with modern times
No need for chivalrous ideals
No maidens left to save,nor even windmills to fight

Stripped bare and naked, reveals the man
No trusty steed or ancient sword
Just a man with faded dreams
One last adventure sought

If you should meet him, please be kind
He's just a man who's out of time
