Lunar innuendo

What have I become, what remains of me
The feeble light of dawn, scorching my skin
Cast! Cast your gaze away, there's nothing here to see
A crumbling ruin of hopes, a rotting pile of dreams

Like a stalking hawk, that looks the prey in pride
My watchtower solid stood, in Black Adamantine
The moon did answer true, my oathing for the night
Everlasting duty, unaltered in time

Oh, spinning wheel of fate
Each man's soul is put to blade
Put to the test
For the wicked, there's no rest

"You knew what I was, you see what I am
Change me... change me"

Now I crawl in the ruins of what was my life
Drowned in my blood, I thrive in my strife
The roaring God's thunder, its echoes still
My throne has become my burial mound

Slain by the arrow, a pawn sacrificed
Not dead, but the chasm to life is so wide
Forgotten, betrayed, disgraced and unhallowed
I wait for the end of a season so shallow

My essence is trapped in the midworld of dreams
A nightmare existence, the multiverse grims
A silent observer I watch from above
The feast of the worms, and my skeleton mould

So, drink the red liquor from chalices raised
A toast to the ones that were stricken by fate
Even though from my birth I was doomed to this fall
Lord, I am awaiting to answer your call…
