Track Insight / Lyrics
Sword laid down I prowl the
park still under moon's pale light
Gates locked tight, a sentinel standing watch through the neon night
In autumn's chill, my armor's tarnished now, gleaming no more
But for this place, this hallowed grounds, my vigil I forever roar
Dawnfall, drawing near, come and claim this knight of old
Where ghosts of laughter echo, and the Ferris wheel grows cold
My heart keeps fiery beat, as night's dark veil starts to lift
Dawnfall, bring your light, and end this endless, restless shift
Tattered banners sag, a dismal testimony to bygone days
When throngs of revelers roamed, their joys in dizzying chase
But now, all's still and stark, beneath the bloated, lonely moon
A solemn requiem plays, on the wind, my lonesome croon
Dawnfall, drawing near, come and claim this knight of old
Where ghosts of laughter echo, and the Ferris wheel grows cold
My heart keeps fiery beat, as night's dark veil starts to lift
Dawnfall, bring your light, and end this endless, restless shift
Lone torches gutter, spluttering weakly in the grey
As dawn's pale tendrils creep, and night's domain starts to sway
I steel myself for change, though freedom's sweet and true
My restless spirit yearns to fly, yet duty sees me through
Dawnfall, drawing near, come and claim this knight of old
Where ghosts of laughter echo, and the Ferris wheel grows cold
My heart keeps fiery beat, as night's dark veil starts to lift
Dawnfall, bring your light, and end this endless, restless shift
Then let the morning sun, in glory, paint this scene anew
A canvas washed of shadows, where dreams and joy break through
No longer plated steel, I open to a brighter day
As dawnfall's radiance arrives, to chase the darkness away
Dawnfall, shining bright, claim this knight, and set him free
Where laughter's repeats live on, and the Ferris wheel spins glee
My heart resounds in triumph as
the night's hold starts to break
Dawnfall, your light has come, my watch now done, the night forsaken!
