In This Master's Tale

I live with the last Of the silence I gave away All my hope I managed to turn My laughter Into a wall Made of stone I left On a foggy morning I reached My goal at night Fires burning And hollow eyes We have all made Our silent goodbyes In this heartless Meaningless shelter Below the fields Of our spirited past Cold as ice And with wings of disaster We’ll make sure That our moment will last We all knew It was a calling And we thought We’d escaped the rain Growing closer To our dark fate In this master’s tale Water’s rising as we desperately Reach out for the sun Deal is broken and our souls Have now moved on If you ever cared for what you had It’s already gone Leave it all behind Pick up the pieces and run One flew from the other side Got caught in the cold My son, this is war Come and join the fold Don’t you ever look back Put it all to rest Take your chances but that burden Won’t ever leave your chest ‘Cause I see nothing But a deadly sign Our shallow hearts In a well of wine Setting our minds straight Time to open the gates We are the dead Short days ago We’ve lived, felt dawn Saw sunsets glow We are the keepers Of the wisdom below Neither enemies Friends or ghosts Take up our quarrel With the foe To you from failing hands We throw The torch be yours To hold it high If you break faith With us who die In this heartless Meaningless shelter Below the fields Of our spirited past Cold as ice And with wings of disaster We’ll make sure That our moment will last We all knew It was a calling And we thought We’d escaped the rain Growing closer To our dark fate In this master’s tale Water’s rising as we desperately Reach out for the sun Deal is broken and our souls Have now moved on If you ever cared for what you had It’s already gone Leave it all behind Pick up the pieces and run One flew from the other side Got caught in the cold My son, this is war Come and join the fold Don’t you ever look back Put it all to rest Take your chances but that burden Won’t ever leave your chest ‘Cause I see nothing But a deadly sign Our shallow hearts In a well of wine Setting our minds straight Time to open the gates Oh Oh Time to open the gates
