All Nightmares End

Battlefield is empty
Silence dwells among every prayer
Words of hope reflect with a withering memory

Charts lie dusty
Forgotten in the corner
As the road runs away from great history

When did we become so blind?
When did we forget the storm of life?
Or really the past left now so far behind

Open your eyes and see
These streams of innocent blood
Days of hunger and grief
Are they now so far?
Look now around!
What do you see?
Mountains of gold upon dead earth
Memories are forbidden all burnt
Withering song’s sound
Dwells now elsewhere, though not here
Don’t you hear…

Old grace dwells in faded days
Torn souls of fallen heroes
Howling and crying the saving prayers
All for broken preys

Look around
Do you like the scenery?
Awake the world
From this scary dream

Don’t be afraid
All nightmares always end
Hold on and take my hand
