Track Insight / Lyrics
You've seen the adages, the sayings and the worn phrases
Of the knights who once ruled, their arms polished and adorned
But your sword's edge is dull, your armor's no longer shining
Faded glory's all that's left as you quit the fighting
And now in this silence, where your legend slowly grinds
So heavy with sediment, the truth that time leaves behind
No honor guides your path, no expectations to unbind
Can you find a new purpose, in this twilight aligned?
Battered and beating, the ghost of something bright
Wandering through the shadows, searching for the light
Battered and beating, the relic of a warrior's might
Are you still rising up, or just a fading sight?
Through forests overgrown, where once the battle cries resounded
Now the only echoes are of ants and weeds that drowned
The fields of honor lost, where your name was proclaimed
Now rust and ivy claim your legacy, there's no one to reclaim
And now in this silence, where your legend slowly grinds
So heavy with sediment, the truth that time leaves behind
No honor guides your path, no expectations to unbind
Can you find a new purpose, in this twilight aligned?
Battered and beating, the ghost of something bright
Wandering through the shadows, searching for the light
Battered and beating, the relic of a warrior's might
Are you still rising up, or just a fading sight?
The wind whispers secrets as it stirs the leaves of past
Reminding you of triumphs, and the scars that will forever last
Your heart is still a battleground, where honor once did clash
But what remains undone, in this twilight hush?
And now in this silence, where your legend slowly grinds
So heavy with sediment, the truth that time leaves behind
No honor guides your path, no expectations to unbind
Can you find a new purpose, in this twilight aligned?
In this forgotten corner, where your story's coming to an end
Perhaps you're searching for a hero's tale to amend
If legends can be rekindled, or glory made anew
Then rise from these embers, a phoenix born of you
Battered and beating, the ghost of something bright
Wandering through the shadows, reaching for the light
Battered and beating, the relic of a warrior's might
You're still rising up, in the darkness of night
(Guitar and drums fade out, with a final strum ringing the last line)
