Maybe red's like roses
Maybe it's a pool of blood
The innocents will lay in
When in the end, you fail to save themTheir dying eyes
Are wide and white like snow
And now they know the cost of trusting you
Is obliterationMirrors will shatter
Crushed by the weight of the world
The pillars collapse in shameThere'll be no rest
There'll be no love
There'll be no hero in the end
Who will rise aboveAnd when it ends
The good will crawl
The shining light will sink in darkness
Victory for hate incarnate
Misery and pain for allWhen it falls...Swallowed by the darkness
Soon the moon is bathed in black
The light of hope is taken
And discontent is the contagionThe blinding eyes
That burn a yellow flame
The embers that remain
Will light the fuse of condemnationKingdoms in tatters
Hung on the brink of a war
The peace will succumb to flamesThis is not a tragedy
It's not an accident
You placed your faith in fools
And now you'll smother in lamentThey play the part of allies
Claiming peace their only goal
But once the fight for power starts
They'll eat each other wholeTheir iron gloves point fingers
They'll wage a war of blame
And mankind will wilt in pain
