The Sleepwalker Pt. 1 - Tears of Dagon Lyrics

A lifting shadow breaks before my eyes
The gentle ghost of horror by my side
A legion and storm advances
Still we fly by night
Is this the fall of man?
Is this the doom I'd soon discover?

Escape the ghost of weeping
Leave your past behind
I see you're still but sleeping
Trust in me and you'll hold down your line

The thunder roars the making of our doom
But knowing this, my heart's still racing toward the view
The earth and sky now shaking
My mind and spirit quaking, but still we fly

Within the reach of righteousness
Gentle wings carry me toward the clouds
Well, I've found that now
To see what's left for me to do
My spirit rages at my plight
Getting closer, no time left
I'll take my dagger to their necks

Seventeen hours toiling
Men and warlocks bleed
I awoke to the darkest of shadows
and my knees are shaking
He said “Behold the night this hour,
for soon all hell will roll
I belong to hell's unending fiery road”
Not to my surprise,
the dark lord would prepare to erase me
Fighting death alone
His skin of steel defies my making

As terror reaches toward my soul,
I pray for strength in me to hold on now
as I clutch the ground
Take the power, take my life
I cannot waste another night
To know what's left for me to prove
The ghost of death greets me anew

A grateful day washed away
I feel my members fading
It seems the old bell has tolled
Please tell me why
Why am I here?
Hanging on the word of a memory fading

In the light of all injustice,
so His spirit reigns in me
Of all the wars that wage before me,
this fight is not for me
I will give my life another time,
for His spirit carries on (Carries on)
For I know He will not fail us,
but for now I must go on
