Darkest Hour

On the hills of fire,

The darkest hour,

I was dreaming of my true love's power.

Who will bring a light to stoke the fire?

Fear not….

You are still breathing….

Hear the cry for new life,

The morning's flame.

You were the brightest light

That burned too soon in vain.

Who will bring you back

From where there's no return?

Fear not….

You are just dreaming….

Lives are lost,

But the battle was won.

The sun's golden fire

Killed the shadows away.

Who will bring the rain

To where there never was?

Fear not….

You are still free….

The cold northern wind

Will sweep the silent fields,

Carrying whispers of the voices

That once graced this world.

Who will avenge the blood

That flowed in rivers last night?

Fear not….

You were just drowning….

The enemy turns to strike

As the moon rises in laggard pace

The doves call

Their last today.

Fear not….

You are still here….

They do not fight the swords and the spears

That lash at them from all around.

The foe will kill again

As they have done to me.

Fear not….

You have just awoken….

The nightmares flee

As you open your eyes.

The screams of pain that crawl through your window

Send shivers down your spine.

Fear not….

You are still alive….

The dream is reality

You say to yourself

As you sling the mail over your back

And take your sword in hand.

Fear not….

They will protect you no more….
