I lie awake and gaze at the starlit sky All the grief and sorrow fade away for just a sigh As the heroes of our time roam through their painful lives I can see the fire burning in their eyes: They believe there'll be a time when all the pain has gone away It makes me think it's after all worth fighting for But when the children of tomorrow turn the page back to this day What will they learn of you and me? Maybe they know our eyes are mirrors of the truth and thus reflect the pain we fear and the heroes we revere But when the shadow reaches out upon our youth We can feel no fear nor pain The eternal Cycle reigns over all Though I hope our mission brings new peace upon the land I'm afraid the cycle of the time keeps going on And if so, this tyrant's falling down by my own hand But one day I would become another one... And the shadow fades away as light prevails the dawning day only to succumb to darkness once again I hear men who pa**ed away chanting in the wind... they say: "This is your War, you are the future king" Maybe they know our eyes are mirrors of the truth and thus reflect the pain we fear and the heroes we revere But when the shadow reaches out upon our youth We can feel no fear nor pain The eternal Cycle reigns over all Those who've paid the price and crossed the line must now understand and see the greater span I know everyone can see the sign and I feel I'm part of something great... divine... When I die our fates will intertwine Maybe they know our eyes are mirrors of the truth and thus reflect the pain we fear and the heroes we revere But when the shadow reaches out upon our youth We can feel no fear nor pain (but) the eternal Cycle reign... Time goes by, chains around its flow One last time we strike and cities fall In ruins they lie but little do we know that one day someone rebuilds the walls All our lives are one stage in time and now our time's begun Grieving those who fell, we live this time until we say farewell
