Defender

City Ad Mortis

Defender


Screaming through the iron bars 
Knowing the time is running out 
Here they come to make their day 
Lead me through the roaring crowd 
I`m waiting for the toll of the bell 
The people cast their stones and yell 
I look at the hangman dressed in black 
I`m scared to die, can I come back? 

The rope is scratching my skin 
The trap-door's moving under my feet 
I realize the situation I'm in 
A last wish is what I need 
So, my life comes to an end 
I hope there's more beyond this land 
Say a prayer, so I can forgive 
So here I go, my final whiff 

Live to die, where the soul goes on 
When the body is gone, die to live 

It's a place like in a dream 
There's no rank among the dead 
We died together in one big stream 
You meet the people you've never met 
Only place left for a few 
If you lived your life maybe for you 
But I know my place, I know my name 
So it can never be the same 

Live to die, for evermore out of sight 
In a city of light, die to live 

Live to die, this eternal night 
For those who died, die to live
