Lamentation
Death awaits me every night
I ride in silence down the road
Hel's gate is just in sight
Let me lay down this heavy load
I know my days are numbered
Though long I've journeyed here
Never can I slumber
When I awaken every tear
And I would see the forest bathed in fire
I would see the oceans wash away
To plant the seeds of my desire
To see my son arise some day
Bring us to the promised time
Let mead flow in golden hue
Alliterate reason with rhyme
Let this world be born anew
Let the final war begin
And see what must come to pass
If this is what it takes, begin
And let us build a world to last
And I would see the forest bathed in fire
I would see the oceans wash away
To plant the seeds of my desire
To see my son arise some day
The poets remember the ages past
The seers have seen a future cast
In stone my heart has laid alone
Until the day my son comes home
And I would see the forest bathed in fire
I would see the oceans wash away
To plant the seeds of my desire
To see my son arise some day
