Rolling thunder in distant skies Shadows of the past A final glance on familiar faces Time is running fast Lost and buried in the sand of time On history's garbage heap A million fates - half of a line Praise the king - Save the queen Embark - To the gates of hell We're caught in a twilight zone Straight into nothingness Or the great unknown The wind in Charon's cloak Sand in the hourglass Tickets with no return Through time - future and past When souls are flying away Facing the sun - Facing it all alone When souls are flying away Cursed and damned And the lost ones die alone Memories from another time We're begging, we're praying for another day No more boys and not yet men Rotting lives and slow decay We're holding on to our cold brides Starring into the dark Clenching our fists so hard For the last time - a call to arms When souls are flying away Facing the sun - Facing it all alone When souls are flying away Cursed and damned And the lost ones die alone When souls are flying away Facing the sun - Facing it all alone When souls are flying away Cursed and damned And the lost ones die alone We're holding on to our cold brides Starring into the dark Clenching our fists so hard For the last time - a call to arms When souls are flying away Facing the sun - Facing it all alone When souls are flying away Cursed and damned And the lost ones die alone When souls are flying away Facing the sun - Facing it all alone When souls are flying away Cursed and damned And the lost ones die alone Who told us about the angels The lie that they're always kind See their joy when they gamble Feeding on screams and pain
