Blacksong

I'm gonna fight

Even though my life is burning

Everything's gonna be all right

Even if there's no returning

In silence I'm watching

I feel the world around

So restless staring deeper in the night

Like a far away sun where the fire is low

Like a fading star I'm burning out in the cold

Crying in my blacksong

I'm lonely

Aging fast down the road

Only in my dreams I'm hiding

Till I'm buried naked and old

I'm waiting watching

I see the world around

Forever reaching deeper for the light

Like a far away sun where the fire is low

I'm a fading star burning up in the cold

And I'm crying out my blacksong

Distant kingdoms like sparks on the sky

So many visions they come to you and I

The shine of the future gives no hint of peace

For this torn world there can be no release

Hold on and all that is beautiful dies

Hold on I'm standing here asking you why

Hold on I must believe to rise in the blaze

But I'm tired in me running blind in the haze

Hold on and everything powerful fades

Hold on all that is young will age

Hold on touched by evil darker than coal

No salvation for the warrior soul

But I'll keep on fighting coming home oh yeah

Crying in my blacksong

In a faraway sun when the fire is low

Just a glowing star fading out in the cold

Dying with my blacksong

Black black turning black

Crying in my blacksong

Crying in my blacksong
