Song of the Abyss - Aviators

Old friend, we seem surrounded

As decay is closing in

And the kiss of deadly silence

Has been placed upon my skin

For the code we’re bound to follow

You have led my last crusade

Now we’re swallowed by the city

As it fades

I will shield you from the darkness

When the walls around us quake

I will hold back all the monsters

Until my bones begin to break

When I’ve lost I’ll have to leave you

And the tears, they’ll fall like rain

If I’m taken by the shadows

I will spare you from the pain

Cry a requiem for sunlight

Hide away now from the dark

To me the angered deep is calling

Tearing me apart

Somehow the whispers do command me

When the abyss has taken hold

Now carry on in glory

When I grow cold

Foolishly I left the darkness creeping

In this restless ruin my soul is bleeding

I confess to you the dark

Has taken me prisoner

I am corrupt beyond any rescue

I’ve forsaken my vow to protect you

Oh, end these horrors

Face the father of the sinister

If the fight’s over

I will sacrifice my mind

Just to know you’ll still be breathing

When the years have been unkind

So continue on without me

Guard my body and my flame

Keep a watch over the wasteland

When the world forgets my name
