Hauk - Rage For a Dying World

Tonight I greet an old girlfriend
She comes to me in the dark of night
On raven wings she brings the end
And robs the blind of their sight

So look within and look without
Stars abound under the moon
Dance in circles, scream and shout
The end is coming real soon

I'll sing rage for a dying world
For a plan unfurled
And our souls bought and sold
I'll sing revenge on the point of a knife
And witness the end of all life

I'll greet my lover with a kiss
Without feeling, without heart
She'll bring the world into new bliss
While we wonder if her work is art

A song of ebon leather wings
A song for the soon departing
A song for all the love she brings
And a cry for the broken heart strings

I'll sing rage for a dying world
For a plan unfurled
And our souls bought and sold
I'll sing revenge on the point of a knife
And witness the end of all life

I'll watch her come to me in dreams
I'll testify to everything
Witness the onslaught of her touch
I think I owe her that much

But each bullet in a playground
Each bloodstain I have found
Has purpose in this web we weave
In the end we'll fall like autumn leaves

I'll sing rage for a dying world
For a plan unfurled
And our souls bought and sold
I'll sing revenge on the point of a knife
And I'll witness the end of all life

Come sweet release, oh come sweet end
I think of all I'll leave behind
One scarred corpse and grieving friends
And nothing that was truly mine
