Downfall

A future that none could have prevised I turned into what I once despised This weary soul brought to a desolate graveyard Was it all for nothing? So close to home But yet I'm so far from you From my beacon my guiding star Entrenched in a total war with my conscience It's the end of the line A calm in the storm that surrounds your heart So rest up tonight and embrace the silence Hold on when you crawl across the pieces of a dream I will always be the one to crucify them thieves Angels on broken wings the servants on their knees Soon to dangle from the serpent's noose Having all of them deceived There's fading memories in my mind Of all the paths I once left behind Blind devotion brought me through hell on earth For king and for country A soldier a fortune to enshrine How I wish that I could rewind My life all these years in a haze with a deceitful conjurer It's the end of the line A calm in the storm that surrounds your heart So rest up tonight and embrace the silence All that I ever knew I choose my way from a point of view That sacrificed my world of innocence Hold on when you crawl across the pieces of a dream I will always be the one to crucify them thieves Angels on broken wings the servants on their knees Soon to dangle from the serpent's noose Having all of them deceived Hold on when you crawl across the pieces of a dream I will always be the one to crucify them thieves Angels on broken wings the servants on their knees Soon to dangle from the serpent's noose Having all of them deceived
