I lie awake and gaze at the starlit sky
All the grief and sorrow fade away for just a sigh
As the heroes of our time roam through their painful 
lives
I can see the fire burning in their eyes:

They believe there'll be a time when
all the pain has gone away
It makes me think it's after all worth fighting for
But when the children of tomorrow
turn the page back to this day
What will they learn of you and me?

Maybe they know our eyes are mirrors of the truth
and thus reflect the pain we fear and the heroes we 
revere
But when the shadow reaches out upon our youth
We can feel no fear nor pain
The eternal Cycle reigns over all

Though I hope our mission brings new peace upon the 
land
I'm afraid the cycle of the time keeps going on
And if so, this tyrant's falling down by my own hand
But one day I would become another one...

And the shadow fades away as light prevails the dawning 
day
only to succumb to darkness once again
I hear men who passed away chanting in the wind...
they say: "This is your War, you are the future king"

Maybe they know our eyes are mirrors of the truth
and thus reflect the pain we fear and the heroes we 
revere
But when the shadow reaches out upon our youth
We can feel no fear nor pain
The eternal Cycle reigns over all

Those who've paid the price and crossed the line
must now understand and see the greater span
I know everyone can see the sign
and I feel I'm part of something great... divine...
When I die our fates will intertwine

Maybe they know our eyes are mirrors of the truth
and thus reflect the pain we fear and the heroes we 
revere
But when the shadow reaches out upon our youth
We can feel no fear nor pain (but) the eternal Cycle 
reign...

Time goes by, chains around its flow
One last time we strike and cities fall
In ruins they lie but little do we know
that one day someone rebuilds the walls

All our lives are one stage in time
and now our time's begun
Grieving those who fell,
we live this time
until we say farewell.
