Requiem

Arafel


You're tired enough, my greatest Lord 
You see no future, only a dreadful end 
You're arms are too weak to hold your sword 
The destinies of nations depend on you no more. 

You're sitting on the mighty throne 
And looking to the past 
You think about right and wrong 
Your time is running fast 

Visions going through your mind 
You see the kingdom fall 
By suffering and pain of mankind 
You have made your final choice 

You hear the gentle voice of love 
But you won't abandon to your passions anymore 
Her name is rising from your heart 
But will be dead with you and sink into oblivion forever 

You see your brother's eyes 
Remember how together you ran and hunted in the forest 
But now you realize 
That he's your enemy. And was it really worth this? 

You try to protect your people from the war 
But the cost of this is their slavery 
Now you're asking yourself: "What for?" 
For what is this humiliation? 
Why this mortification?
