The Other Side
I heard a whisper on my shoulderPretending life is worth the fightO can you hear the song of thunderWhen fear strangles a soldier's prideAnd on the surface of the watersWill dance reflections of the fire in the night
I remember cheering from the towersA face is smiling in the lightI remember the bells, the flowersThose days are dying in the dark
Boy I was shaped for the furyNow I pay the priceOf the human race's viceAnd I was promisedThe glorious ending of a knightBut the crown is out of sight
I'm slowly drifting into slumber'Cos I have lost the force to fightIt's like a cold hand on my shoulderI'll see you on the other side
And in the arms of endless angerWill end the story of a soldier in the dark
