Naumachia - Centurion lyrics
Your rating:
The hollow loss has crept into my life And shaped it to be it's home I fall asleep into a tar black hole And wake up into the shades of the past day I am centurion For there are hundreds of me alike Here today gone tomorrow Born of emptiness and sorrow Into sadness and shaded lot Hollow realm devoid of deeper thought One of millions points of darkness A diamond in sand though I am centurion There are millions of us Ordering our one-manned armies I am my own subordinate and superior Unnamed army of indifferent swords Summoned to gather upon the shore No servants they need, no lords As obedience to themselves they swore Past centuries were my shelter Brought up by stone statues I was Fed on dew that hasty night left I have been forsaken by Light Clad in century-old armour Corroded by acid of memories Covered in rust of my anger Here I rise - centurion Against hope, against dreams For suppressed will I fight Confined imagination And, oh, upright pose Retrieve the mind equilibrium Revive words their might Give the night it's moonless darkness And the warriors the cause to fight My summoning call dies into the sky-high wall of groans The orphaned widows mourn their youth The silhouettes of swords buried in memory Are cutting through the realms' screen To stop the rocking of the empty cradles Stone hits the stone, the clatter, as hypnotic chant, fades in blizzard's spell Ecce Centurion, marching with his alikes I am Centurion And there are millions of us
