Last Watch (Tree of Shadows)
All alone amidst a sea of ignorance
I hold my candle high
The glimmers in the distance
Growing brighter than before
Standing fast I try to bear the waves
Of madness all around
For I hear the songs of
Brothers coming home
Coming Home
You say you want to take my hand
And share with me my path
But I see the trepidation in your eyes
Can you hear me?
Please don’t fear me
Can’t you understand
I walk alone for
Long ago I swore an oath
To keep divine the words unknown
And hold a watchful eye up on this land
I forged the swords, the magic rings
Watched the rise and fall of kings
I held the end of time within my hand
I walk alone
Oh yeah, baby
I walk alone
Don’t you think I’d like to put an end
To all of this for love
After all these years
And all these tears
Shed for those I stand above
But what would my brothers say
When they got home?
What would my brother say
When they got home?
Still along awash in madness
One lost soul
I tend this candle still
Trapped, it seems
In ageless dreams
Of times that came before
Still I stand
And bear my waves
And ponder at my fate
Still I hear the songs of
Brothers coming home
Out there in the night
Still I hear the songs of
Brothers coming home
Coming home
