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 this 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're 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
 Well make sure that this 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

 One flew from the other side
 Got caught in the cold

 Don't you ever look back, put it all to rest

 Won't ever leave your chest
