In the dark and bleeding
   With the shadows seething
   There he stands alone
  
   Fools and faith conspire
   Questions of desire
   That they never owned
  
   Kings without their armor
   Men without their honor
   Spit out desecration
   Pieces of a nation
   Buried in the ground
   Screams without a sound
   Burn the castle down
  
   In the end the children cried
   That the jackal surely lied
   When he said please listen all
   Do not look behind these walls
  
   Coffins drowned in roses
   And the war he chose is
   Fought inside the mind
   Death becomes compelling
   When the soul's for selling
   And the world is blind
  
   In the maze he wanders
   Looks about and ponders
   Shadows mock and taunt him
   And the ghosts that haunt him
   Chain him to the ground
   Screams without a sound
   Burn the castle down
  
   In the end the children cried
   That the jackal surely lied
   When said please listen all
   Do not look behind these walls
  
   And does the pendulum toll
   Against the side of he soul
   When if feels the final moment is near
  
   Do you rage against the dark
   Try to re-write the part
   Turn around and face what you fear
   What you fear
  
   He's seen it all before
   Close your eyes and close the door
   And the dreams that nights embrace
   Slowly leave behind a trace
