In the dark and bleeding With the shadows seething There he stands alone
Fools and faith conspire Questions of desire That they never owned
Kings without their armor Men without their honor Spit out desecration Pieces of a nation Buried in the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down
In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When he said please listen all Do not look behind these walls
Coffins drowned in roses And the war he chose is Fought inside the mind Death becomes compelling When the soul's for selling And the world is blind
In the maze he wanders Looks about and ponders shadows mock and taunt him And the ghosts that haunt him Chain him to the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down
In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When he said please listen all Do not look behind these walls
And does the pendulum toll Against the side of the soul When he feels the final moment is near Do you rage 'gainst the dark Try to re-write the part Turn around and face what you fear What you fear
He's seen it all before Close your eyes and close the door And the dreams that nights embrace Slowly leave without a trace
