(Music: VJ Lyrics: VJ, MM)
When the piper plays the tune
As waves reflect the silver moon
A swell of cries rolls with the tide
And crashes to the shore
A harmony of sleep reborn
The hungry, sick, and battle torn
Laid out to rest and so are blessed
And lost forevermore
You've chosen black, I’ll go with white
If I can play to win, oh, will I steal the light?
But I don't know, you seem too sure
In your eyes I see that death is waiting for its turn
The pieces on the board they feel so smooth
Raise up your withered hand and make your move
Aghast as visions fill your mind
You take another sip of wine
So ill at ease as memories seem fictional, almost
And if too soon my soul is won
And if I never see the sun
Rise up again, my brethren
Still keep me in your hearts
Another knight, another pawn
It won't be long until the final piece is drawn
I feel you stare, it burns like ice
But in the end I know we all must pay the price
The pieces on the board are now but few
With one last strike you make your final move
You will never know when it is time for you
Beyond the bells, into the hells of heroes, saints, and fools
You will never know what lies beyond for you
If only to be crystallized into something new
Solo I: VJ
Solos II & III: SLB
The time has come for you, my friend
Your journey has come to an end
So hark the Devil's angels sing
Or will they? No one knows
A destiny you can't avoid
Your spirit slips into the void
Then sucked away without a trace
Into the great unknown
Just one more night, let me fight on
I see the starless sky give way to my last dawn
With noble form but all in vain
There is no victory to lead me from this game
"And wish, so please my sovereign, ere I move
What my tongue speaks my right drawn sword shall prove"
You will never know when it is time for you
Beyond the bells, into the hells of heroes, saints, and fools
You will never know what lies beyond for you
If only to be crystallized into something new
You never know
