Lyrics for Chimes at Midnight
I saw the mountain crumble down I saw colossus in flames I heard the ocean draining Nothing that I could ever tame Off with my head, come down the line I have the right to decide I'll bring this light, as is the sky Altered minds they criticize Unrest within your flesh How can we stop this pollution? Altering trouble, you cannot fix Envy of others never makes me rich All my heroes, they're all dead As I remain here inside my We have heard the chimes at midnight Into the void I go Will I ever see your face again? Or will black be all I know? Arriving inside Ire hurts a life And the darkness here is grim But it found us, surrounded Lead me deep into the canyon You put your guidance in the wrong hands Feet ungrounded, giving your best Now take your gold into silence You take a stand, bracing yourself For this cold is never ending We have heard the chimes at midnight Into the void I go Will I ever see your face again? Or will black be all I know? Arriving inside Ire hurts a life!
