The Righteous Path

The walk of fear and the walk of pain
A shattered lens recording cinematic
Like pictures of horrendous hopes and homes
Heroes and fools, they are the same.

Watching foul flesh undisturbed arrive
Vampires walk in broad daylight
A shameful sight watched by dying eyes
One step for a man denying mankind.

Cross my heart, hope to survive
Carry on for a better time
A peaceful place where we belong
The righteous path won't guide us wrong.

The things that don't kill you
They say, will now make you so much stronger
So tell me, how does it then come
That the crippled don't rule the world?

Imagine how we will be perceived
When fire is what we leave behind
How can someone learn from the past
When all the books are burned and gone?
Books are burned and gone
Burned and gone!

Cross my heart, hope to survive
Carry on for a better time
A peaceful place where we belong
The righteous path won't guide us wrong.

No...
The sands of time
In the desert storm
The source of fear
Losing control.

Cross my heart, hope to survive
Carry on or a better time
It's come to this, now come undone
The righteous path won't guide us wrong.
