Dark is the night where moonlight betrays my emotions
with tears that reflect starlight from a sombre sky
Where the wind pauses as it passes
to Deliver an icy kiss upon a cheek
Stilled as if a sentinel to an abstract emotion
Shadows tied to the wall wait for release
As I am passing by, one eye on tomorrow
And one eye on the sky
Silence then no witness to this soul here on a hill
Waiting for an answer in the place
where memories spill
Was it real I wonder that night then, long ago
When virgin snow was falling
just as she turned to go
Yet blood I still see on my hands
and from her lips a cry
she begged of me for mercy
but the sentiment passed me by
And the fury came and the blood did flow
scarlet flowers on the ground
A pattern of deception
born of the letter that I found
Yet here I am still standing here
waiting on this hill
For fate is bound to catch me
with vengeance to fulfill
From sleep I must awaken
for this nightmare is no friend
Of images that horrify
of pain that doesn’t end
It was a dream I know it was
how could I cause her pain
But look the blood still scarlet
is flowing once again
