Citadels

All we love We have thrown them to the wolves Oh child, we've cast you to fall into cursed hands We fall through the sky To find our graves

I've seen your arrows pierce the city streets And the first to throw their stone Is the first to hang from the tallest of trees Oh, I've seen you bear your teeth With a spear through your heart From an ancient affair of deceit A nightmare lingering inside Inside of a death marked dream I walk the paths of this kingdom Searching for my love I call her name To the moon and the sun with a Hopeful prayer on my tongue Oh, bound in the vows of heartless men To be claimed like the spoils of a voyage cascaded in sin Our children cannot hide another year (Oh no!) The faceless walls of a citadel Are a prison I've learned to fear I walk the paths of this kingdom Searching for my love I call her name To the moon and the sun with a Hopeful prayer on my tongue Read these palms that I might see light of dawn In my dreaming I see her face She wears a veil that shrouds her gaze She speaks of the love and horror That await me when I wake (Wah!) We walk in a path to see The light of a lover's dream The fortunes of fear call to find us all Now the stars in the sky concede To write our destiny A hand to hold us all And send us off to sleep

Look to the moon, the Tears in his eyes seem to say that our time's coming soon What a tragic end To a story that barely began We will burn it down Burn the fortress that stands in our way We will burn it down Take the oldest of wars to the grave What cruel fate forged death and love? We didn't ask for the blood But this is the battle we chose The morning light arose through the trees In my harrowed dreams See this through, a never ending scene Take heart and seize the day This is the life you're born to lead Speak now a wishful vow, irradiate the sea In the waves, I will wait You don't have to drift away I'll bring you back, I'll bring you back From midnight hands we will escape

I'm fighting hard for life Oh my kin, my friend Cast away the blade of haunted times Take the path to light So this is, this is the world Of our fathers' making Good intentions now refused Now refused This is not what I foresaw (All my life unravelling In tragedies and tombs) This is not what I foresaw (All my love irradiating Like an open wound) Hold my ever aching limbs Wandering in death Arise and we'll walk the path of gods So tonight let's cut the rope that hangs your ghost Oh, we've got a crisis On our bloody hands But this is what we want And with a haunted love comes sacrifice Looks like we've got a crisis Slipping through like shaking sand This is the night we lie Awake embraced in lovers' hands Cast across the land So this is love, for the first and last Oh, the death marked dream Becomes the real Oh God, I wish This night would go on like this forever These hands have seen love a thousand times But never like this, never like this All I've ever seen The darkest days and the lightest dreams Fade away tonight

So you see through my deception Found your way through the sand of the storm Marching on through this barren wasteland To the foot of terror's door Feel the lions gnashing at your legs While your lover dies from the poison of the snake We are hopeless now You won't find a way out You are bound in my eyes We must find our way out From this godforsaken hell Back to the order Back to the structure Back to sleep Oh this desolation breaking us must be refused Take to flight Back to the order Back to the structure Back to life Feel the lions gnashing at your legs While your lover dies from the poison of the snake We are hopeless now You won't find a way out You are bound in my eyes So far beyond the sun Desperate to return We rise above the battlefields And feel our bodies burn With your hand upon my lips I speak now through my eyes You can see the worst in me now This is our goodbye So here we stand Build our lives on the graves of the innocent Here we are Chained to the gallow Slaves to the desperate So here we stand alone

Fighting for a thousand years We forget the right Deep inside, a war waged over time (Oh!) Weak men sigh in the rising tides Drown this goddamn garden Promises will break In a promising display We will prove our love amidst the darkest nights We won't fade away, we won't fade away We will take to flight Don't look down my love Tragedy strikes at the heart Tonight, we fall Into the hands of gods Out of the wilderness We're trying so desperately Trying to find our way Feathers fray and shake Chills me to the bone Shadow shuts the gate Lock us up alone We feel this ancient pain Heartache like splinters that swim through my veins Won't you hear my heartbeat battle cry Shouting, curse at the sky So sing harmony To the dark clouds Raining tremulous rivers in spite of the sun See our fire Light a burning effigy Of cursed guardians and captors Crowned with ash Tonight, we fall Into the hands of gods Out of the wilderness We're trying so desperately Trying to find our way

Stand to dig the graves of lovers To steal the wind from their sails Bury the corpse Fill this cavern with the screaming of the damned The whisper of gods in her eyes Conquer the soul The fire burned so bright But light has left their eyes Our children brave a world of woe alone They're braving the tempest to still our trembling hands Broken bones, consumed by the fire nеver ending For our children trappеd in stone We will devastate the throne Setting the fire Burning the garden Writhing with death Growing so tall All hearts have been awakened Raise up the dead Welcome them home All we love, we have thrown to the jaws of a tragic consequence Stole their lives just like the animals we have become We were so naive, to take the dream behind their eyes And give them back as cursed memories To the wolves, we've cast them in the burial of love and misery
