    Crusade in the Dark

Vanish into the darkness
Burning red like the sun
To hold the dusk at bay
For the forest's heart should live forever
 
A kingdom lying in ruins
Torn down and rebuilt
What is left of all monuments
A distraction from solitude anyhow
Glaring and loud
 
Night reaching through windows, grasping for the shadows
As Hypnos defies me in these lonely hours
Thoughts crawling like spiders through dirt and broken dreams
Agony and longing fighting a crusade in the dark
Fighting a crusade in the dark
 
Allies are marching on
With hopeful hearts in their hands
Ruins are all I can give
To a lonely king drowning in blood debt
Brittle bones can’t hold on
To a dream that shatters anyway
Just a smokescreen not to feel
A romance in loneliness
 
Night reaching through windows, grasping for the shadows
As Hypnos defies me in these lonely hours
Thoughts crawling like spiders through dirt and broken dreams
Agony and longing fighting a crusade in the dark
Fighting a crusade in the dark
 
Fear reaching like shadows
Cruel and dark like the earth
The last breath and its toll
Certainty of dust and ash
To sink like the moon into the sea
Yesterday pours into tomorrow, into today
I drink of Lethe till I drown
Remorse and joy, all in vain
