In the dark and bleeding  With the shadows seething  There he stands alone  Fools and faith conspire  Questions of desire  That they never owned  Kings without their armor  Men without their honor  Spit out desecration  Pieces of a nation  Buried in the ground  Screams without a sound  Burn the castle down  In the end the children cried  That the jackal surely lied  When he said please listen all  Do not look behind these walls  Coffins drowned in roses  And the war he chose is  Fought inside the mind  Death becomes compelling  When the soul¹s for selling  And the world is blind  In the maze he wanders  Looks about and ponders  Shadows mock and taunt him  And the ghosts that haunt him  Chain him to the ground  Screams without a sound  Burn the castle down  In the end the children cried  That the jackal surely lied  When said please listen all  Do not look behind these walls  And does the pendulum toll  Against the side of he soul  When if feels the final moment is near  Do you rage against the dark  Try to re-write the part  Turn around and face what you fear  What you fear  He¹s seen it all before  Close your eyes and close the door  And the dreams that nights embrace  Slowly leave behind a trace
