| Old friend, we seem surrounded
|
| As decay is closing in
|
| And the kiss of deadly silence
|
| Has been placed upon my skin
|
| For the code we’re bound to follow
|
| You have led my last crusade
|
| Now we’re swallowed by the city
|
| As it fades
|
| I will shield you from the darkness
|
| When the walls around us quake
|
| I will hold back all the monsters
|
| Until my bones begin to break
|
| When I’ve lost I’ll have to leave you
|
| And the tears, they’ll fall like rain
|
| If I’m taken by the shadows
|
| I will spare you from the pain
|
| Cry a requiem for sunlight
|
| Hide away now from the dark
|
| To me the angered deep is calling
|
| Tearing me apart
|
| Somehow the whispers do command me
|
| When the abyss has taken hold
|
| Now carry on in glory
|
| When I grow cold
|
| Foolishly I left the darkness creeping
|
| In this restless ruin my soul is bleeding
|
| I confess to you the dark
|
| Has taken me prisoner
|
| I am corrupt beyond any rescue
|
| I’ve forsaken my vow to protect you
|
| Oh, end these horrors
|
| Face the father of the sinister
|
| If the fight’s over
|
| I will sacrifice my mind
|
| Just to know you’ll still be breathing
|
| When the years have been unkind
|
| So continue on without me
|
| Guard my body and my flame
|
| Keep a watch over the wasteland
|
| When the world forgets my name |
