The Other Side

I heard a whisper on my shoulder 
Pretending life is worth the fight 
O can you hear the song of thunder 
When fear strangles a soldier's pride 
And on the surface of the waters 
Will dance reflections of the fire in the night 

I remember cheering from towers 
A face is smiling in the light 
I remember the bells, the flowers 
Those days are dying in the dark 

Boy I was shaped for the fury 
Now I pay the price 
Of the human race's vice 
And I was promised 
The glorious ending of a knight 
But the crown is out of sight 

I'm slowly drifting into slumber 
Cause I have lost the force to fight 
It's like a cold hand on my shoulder 
I'll see you on the other side 

And in the arms of endless anger 
Will end the story of a soldier in the dark
