At the Going Down of the Sun

Far we have wandered Many obstacles in our path Through trials and hardship Our journey carries on With adherence to our calling And devotion to our creed A lifelong bond of fire The last of a dying breed At the going down of the sun Until the end When days are gone Ethereal light guides us Time is now Our passion burns stronger Our spirits remain free As we walk the earth As free men At the going down of the sun We shall remain At the going down of the sun Until the end When days are gone Whеn the sun no longer sets Whеn we’re closing in The burning flame will guide us Through centuries At the going down of the sun Until the end When days are gone When the sun no longer sets When we’re closing in The burning flame will guide us Through centuries Ethereal light guides us Time is now Our passion burns stronger Our spirits remain free As we walk the earth As free men At the going down of the sun We shall remain At the going down of the sun Until the end When days are gone When the sun no longer sets When we’re closing in The burning flame will guide us Through centuries At the going down of the sun Until the end When days are gone When the sun no longer sets When we’re closing in The burning flame will guide us Through centuries

Towering clouds over flowering fields The dawn of a dark season Unleashed is all that light conceals Challenging sense and reason The path ahead is steep and narrow Trying to find a way Despair pierces my skin, heart and marrow Turmoil blights the day The path ahead is steep and narrow Trying to find a way Despair builds up in me The night is drawing closer The walls are caving in Sinking into the unknown Panic spreads, asphyxiating It's the season of unrest Will this be my requiem? Mortality exposed Vulnerability imposed Normality foreclosed I close my eyes and bask in flowering fields Dismiss the pain and ignore what's real Reject reality, construct my own Burn everything to the fucking ground The night is drawing closer The walls are caving in Sinking into the unknown Panic spreads, asphyxiating It's the season of unrest Darkness threatens to unfold Fertile fields turned to barren land In an instant the future looks bleak Mighty mountains crushed to sand Enough to make the strong heart weak Will I hear his voice, will he know my face? Is it far what seemed so near? No way out of this ghastly maze Desolation and despair The night is drawing closer The walls are caving in Sinking into the unknown Panic spreads, asphyxiating Here's the season of unrest Has my time come? Tears won't arise Oppress my weary eyes
