A cruel and relentless fate

Is handed down to me

The wolves are closing in

And a rope hangs from the tree

A glance of loneliness

Is a very solemn gift

I bare a punishing weight

As my soul becomes adrift

Staring through this ancient light

My heart resting in my hands

I see now what is coming

Astonished at what I see

They are becoming my enemy

The temples now in ruin

It is mankind that is losing

Destruction comes from within

Now we’re all suffering

Anger will punish itself

A painful price to pay

Can love survive a growing distance

Or simply fade away?

The Earth that waits to receive us

Is calm amid a terrible storm

And the Gates we hope will receive us

Watch our souls completely reform

Is it a sacred cargo I bare?

Or a curse from the unholy Witch King

Falling through the atmosphere

My faith is failing me now

In the company of fear

I will survive this, somehow

An ox pulls away my mothers ghost

Through a pathless wood

All the shattered fragments

I hold together

In a motion of faith

The torn fields of my homeland

Lay cold and still
