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 nightI remember cheering from the towers
A face is smiling in the light
I remember the bells, the flowers
Those days are dying in the darkBoy I was shaped for the fury
Now I pay the price
Of the human race's vice
And I was promisedThe glorious ending of a knight
But the crown is out of sightI'm slowly drifting into slumber'Cos 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 darkI 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 the 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
'Cos 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
