The Last Watch

All alone amidst a sea of ignorance
I hold my candle high
The glimmers in the distance growing
Brighter than before

Standing fast I try to bear the waves
Of madness all around
For I hear the songs of brothers
Coming home

You say you want to take my hand
And share with me my path
But I see the trepidation
In your eyes

Can you hear me?
Please don’t fear me
Can’t you understand?

I walk alone,
For long ago I swore an oath
To keep divine the words unknown
And hold a watchful eye upon this land

I forged the swords, the magic rings
Watched the rise and fall of kings
I held the end of time within my hand
I walk alone

Oh yeah, baby
I walk alone

Don’t you think I’d like to put an end
To all of this for love?
After all these years and all these tears
Shed for those I stand above?

But what would my brothers say
When they got home?
What would my brothers say
When they got home?

Still alone awash in madness
One lost soul, I tend this candle still
Trapped, it seems, in ageless dreams
Of times that came before

Still I stand and bear my waves
And ponder at my fate
Still I hear the songs
Of brothers coming home

Out there in the night
Still I hear the songs
Of brothers coming home
Coming home
