On Lonely Towers

I will rest here

And I might not awake

Was there ever a place for one to lie

It must be here

An ocean green

My hands on stone

Scarred and battled

Shreds of banner cloth

Dance recklessly in a desolate breeze

Clinging to their weathered rods

Perched on lonely towers

Praying for faith under darkening clouds

Songs of chaos burning holes in the sky

Praying for faith under darkening clouds

They marched on lonely towers

Their screams live on

As wraiths in the wind

And only when time ends

Their voices may be stilled

Dire winds

Break the leaves

Failing suns

Beyond the mist

Who are you?

A promise from the spirits of life

Darkness has ceased

To flood my mind

I will wait until the dawn

I will wait until the dawn to die

My body is weak

But my will takes flight

I will wait until the dawn

I will wait until the dawn to die

And as you speak

My fear subsides

I will wait until the dawn

I will wait until the dawn arrives
