A Silent Guard

Don't you fall asleep
This world will not stop turning
Surrounded by the unseen
Encircled by the beasts
Delivered to the unpredictable
So loyal and devoted to your fate

On bloody thorns, you lay your head to rest
Sinking into innocence
Hope in the future, the rest is silence
Ever and anon, we lay a wreath, but still forget

As you walk into a new day
Healed and full of confidence
Another soul that has been shattered
Will never see the sun again
An agony during your sleep, a silent guard
Full of devotion

On bloody thorns, you lay your head to rest
Sinking into innocence
Be kind and humble, the rest is silence
Ever and anon, we light a candle but disremember

Another life put on the line
A further eye into the abyss
Despite I seek, I cannot find the lasting peace that's solely mine
One more step into the gloom

Don't you fall asleep
This world will not stop burning
Suppression of uneasy certainties
The only way to guide you through the night

On bloody thorns, you lay your head to rest
Drifting towards decadence
Just carry the load, the rest is silence
Ever and anon, we show our colours
And step into the breach
