The Red Hood

When once, long ago I was worn down and abused The strongest took the spoils, and Then we fell down at their shoes But now, they are gone And my sanity's kept by my chains So I bear them both in faith and hate For family and all that remains Fight, to ignite Not for Gods nor the coming of night If I'm the last of the men to fall Then this warrior's growing in might For fear and for love And survival when push comes to shove The Red Hood is coming to take you home The bearer of Soul and of light Old Kings will fade When the last of the light's fading too The castles long have fallen, and The paintings faded blue So here, now you stand We are human yet both something new The last prize has been taken Now the Red Hood faces you Fight, to ignite Not for Gods nor the coming of night If I'm the last of the men to fall Then this warrior's growing in might For fear and for love And survival when push comes to shove The Red Hood is coming to take you home The bearer of Soul and of light Here in the ashes, balanced and whole I endlessly hunger for power of Soul At the end of all the ages In the last of my crusades You're the Red Hood's last contender And the first one unafraid I'm regretful to have hurt you But this world's blood must be spilled I'll return home as a monster From this bad dream that I've killed Fight, to ignite Not for Gods nor the coming of night If I'm the last of the men to fall Then this warrior's growing in might For fear and for love And survival when push comes to shove The Red Hood is coming to take you home The bearer of Soul and of light
