The battle was won,
But still the walls crumbled,
Relieved of their heavy weight,
While silence reigned the world.
But still the walls crumbled,
And mourners' tears fell,
While silence reigned the world,
Time ticked steadily on.
And mourners' tears fell,
Ghosts littered the halls,
Time ticked steadily on,
Life crept slowly back.
Ghosts littered the halls,
Relieved of their heavy weight,
Life crept slowly back,
The battle was won.

He walked through this world,
And watched it turn brand new,
And through the silence,
He walked.
And watched it turn brand new,
His eyes a glittering green,
He walked,
His aura a crackle of light.
His eyes a glittering green,
His hair the blackest black,
His aura a crackle of light,
With tears falling in his wake.
His hair the blackest of black,
And through the silence,
With tears falling in his wake,
He walked through the world.

He only wakes at night,
From nightmares,
A nightmare he cannot escape,
He could have saved them.
From nightmares,
He forms his prison,
"He could have saved them,"
Becomes a silver chain.
He forms his prison,
Locking everyone else out,
Becomes a silver chain,
A nightmare he cannot escape.
Locking everyone else out,
He rests in his castle of darkness,
A nightmare he cannot escape,
He only wakes at night.

By the, his is misunderstood,
The people we left behind,
They don't observe him,
In his pain.
The people we left behind,
Cannot think but leave him,
In his pain,
