Something so precious Giving light to all In a fortress made sacred Thought never to fall Then plague of the ages Invasive and swift Brings fire that rages Destroys from within Only Blood can smother the consuming plague I believe you'll return though I stand at your grave We carry on in this lightless life Pressing on past the myriad of lies Buried here in the ground, oh My heart could never leave you there But I know In the stillness, you are resting I'm running away Those who were not there To see the light slowly die Don't know the anguish Of ash in the sky I pray there's an ember Buried deep in that tomb One day may it rise up Shine ever true
