Strength of the Fallen

The sky is too dark,
And you can't understand;
You want someone to take
and lead you by the hand;
But where you're going,
No man's ever been,
Or at least not any
Who came back the same.

So ask for your guide,
But whoever you're calling,
You can only rely
On the strength of the fallen.

And you trained all your life,
Piled hour upon hour,
And you thought that the suit
Was some symbol of power;
But something went wrong,
And he stole her away,
And your nightmare- your life-
Just gets worse every day.

So ask for your guide,
But whoever you're calling,
You can only rely
On the strength of the fallen.

You were going to make up
For all that you lacked,
Stood up to play hero
When evil attacked;
But you just couldn't make it,
However you tried,
'til you stood on the shoulders
Of those who had died.

So ask for your guide,
But whoever you're calling,
You can only rely
On the strength of the fallen.

Regret clouds your eyes,
As you carry your curse,
You don't see your obsession
Just makes it all worse;
But you have to keep fighting,
There's no other way,
All that's left is the battle,
And a graveyard someday.

So ask for your guide,
But whoever you're calling,
You can only rely
On the strength of the fallen.
