Cold Night by the Fortress Lyrics


Rain falling, first drenched in the past.

Soon daylight will be drowned in it's wake.

We stand in the streets of this city,

As the fire of heaven conceals what's within me.

To this end i'll stand alone,

To this end, to forever.

I'll never speak the word of serenity.

The eyes on her face will speak it for me.

Forsaken pasts of darkness, falls to embrace.

On a trembling plain,

With the thoughts of his mother

Shining through the pain.

Awakened now, he starts to see

The beast his father made for him.

Only now can he see the sadness left inside.

You'll take this soul with its fate touched by the beast,

And forget her.

And never will it be known to her,

The loss of this child inside

That finds the waiting shining out.

Spinning in darkness, worlds fall below.

I can see it's burning,

A lost soul in this night stands but true.

Fleeting a moment, when I still had the choice.

I can see this life of mine,

I can feel my mind run soft from me.

When time stands still,

And my troubles break free,

When I'm lying here,

In the light of this thought,

I'll be waiting here for you.

In the mind of my father,

In the heart of my mother,

In the soul of this beast, the end.

I'll be dying here in you.

So save me.

In the mind of this beast: the end, eternity.

Can't you see

The time in the beast that my father made for me?

So save me.

Now I see her eyes slowly turning from me.

So bring me,

I'm feeling a loss that will not be conceived

In this tomb.
