Shining Black - The House of the Fallen Souls

THE HOUSE OF THE FALLEN SOULS

HERE WE LIVED AND HERE WE REST
OR AT LEAST WHAT'S LEFT
OF THE BODIES WE ONCE HAD
THE HILL IS NOW OUR BED
FATHERS, CHILDREN, OLD AND YOUNG
TOGETHER HERE WE LIE
HEAR OUR LAMENTING
IN THE BLOWING WIND'S LOST CRY

OUR CHANT IS A SONG
FOR THE ONES LEFT BEHIND
WE LEFT HOME AT DAWN
FOR THE VERY LAST TIME

MAJOR, WE OBEYED YOU
WE CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THE HILL
THAT SMALL RIVER ONCE BLUE
TURNED TO RED A VICTORY'S TOLL
WE WAIT FOR AN ANGEL
ARE WE FORGOTTEN STILL?
ON THIS SULLEN MOUNTAIN
IN THE HOUSE OF THE FALLEN SOULS

SUNBEAMS KISS OUR MONUMENT
BUT THEY WON'T WARM IT UP
FROM THE COLD ENCRUSTED DEEP WITHIN ITS MARBLE WALLS
MAJOR, WE GOT UP THIS HILL
A HILL NO ONE RECALLS
MAJOR, HERE THE FLAG WAS RAISED
BUT NO ONE CARES AT ALL

AND OUR CHANT IS A SONG
FOR THE ONES LEFT BEHIND
WE LEFT HOME AT DAWN
FOR THE VERY LAST TIME

MAJOR, WE OBEYED YOU
WE CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THE HILL
THAT SMALL RIVER ONCE BLUE
TURNED TO RED OF VICTORY
WE WAIT FOR AN ANGEL
ARE WE FORGOTTEN STILL?
ON THIS SULLEN MOUNTAIN
IN THE HOUSE OF THE FALLEN SOULS

HERE WE LIE
THE SONS OF A BROKEN AGE
ONE BY ONE
LIKE BROTHERS WE'RE FALLEN

ON THIS STONE
THESE WRITINGS REMEMBER YOU
WHERE YOU ARE
THE HOUSE OF THE FALLEN SOULS

MAJOR, WE OBEYED YOU
WE CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THE HILL
THAT SMALL RIVER ONCE BLUE
TURNED TO RED OF VICTORY
WE WAIT FOR AN ANGEL
ARE WE FORGOTTEN STILL?
ON THIS SULLEN MOUNTAIN
IN THE HOUSE OF THE FALLEN SOULS
