Downfall

A future that none could have prevised
I turned into what I once despised
This weary soul brought to a desolate graveyard
Was it all for nothing?
So close to home
But yet I’m so far from you
From my beacon my guiding star
Entrenched in a total war with my conscience.

It’s the end of the line
A calm in the storm that surrounds your heart
So rest up tonight and embrace the silence.

Hold on when you crawl across the pieces of a dream
I will always be the one to crucify them thieves
Angels on broken wings the servants on their knees
Soon to dangle from the serpent’s noose
Having all of them deceived.

There’s fading memories in my mind
Of all the paths I once left behind
Blind devotion brought me through hell on earth
For king and for country
A soldier a fortune to enshrine
How I wish that I could rewind
My life all these years in a haze with a deceitful conjurer.

It’s the end of the line
A calm in the storm that surrounds your heart
So rest up tonight and embrace the silence.

All that I ever knew
I choose my way from a point of view
That sacrificed my world of innocence.

Hold on when you crawl across the pieces of a dream
I will always be the one to crucify them thieves
Angels on broken wings the servants on their knees
Soon to dangle from the serpent’s noose
Having all of them deceived.

Hold on when you crawl across the pieces of a dream
I will always be the one to crucify them thieves
Angels on broken wings the servants on their knees
Soon to dangle from the serpent’s noose
Having all of them deceived.
