So soon the moon will come unfold her robe of constellations |
|
And for a time the night was mine in endless fascination |
|
But now she brings me only shadows and a host of memories |
|
Marching on |
|
Endlessly |
|
Like a ghostly brigade |
|
Marching on - Doomed parade |
|
But now she's gone away (She was here) |
|
Forever, I'm afraid (She was real) |
|
No longer shall the night, from the sun |
|
Provide its blessed shade |
|
I saw her with my eyes (She was real) |
|
I touched her with my hands (She was here) |
|
Right here in this room it was She whispered in my ear |
|
Lost forever... to hell. |
|
Here is a wound, To go with your uniform |
|
Here is a message, you'll never forget |
|
Back in your tomb, reaping your true reward |
|
The path you have chosen, you'll learn to regret |
|
"Sleep, angel sleep. |
|
Be not a ghost trapped in the light |
|
Be as the day, and pass away |
|
Into the night." |
|
The night moves like a glacier, slow and cold |
|
Yet rage takes over as I see the plan unfold |
|
So that's your game, to take away the only friend I?ve ever made |
|
In this place |
|
How we laughed |
|
At the ghostly brigade |
|
Marching on - Doomed parade |
|
I must say I'm impressed |
|
Such cruelty in a jest |
|
The depth of your malevolence, the fools would never guess |
