I heard a whisper on my shoulder Pretending life is worth the fight Oh, can you hear the song of thunder When fear strangles a soldier's pride And on the surface of the waters Will dance reflections of the fire in the night
I remember cheering from towers A face is smiling in the light I remember the bells, the flowers Those days are dying in the dark
Boy I was shaped for the fury Now I pay the price Of the human race's vice And I was promised The glorious ending of a knight But the crown is out of sight
I'm slowly drifting into slumber Cause I have lost the force to fight It's like a cold hand on my shoulder I'll see you on the other side
And in the arms of endless anger Will end the story of a soldier in the dark
