So soon the moon will come unfold her robe of constellations And for a time the night was mine in endless fascination But now she brings me only shadows and a host of memories Marching on Endlessly Like a ghostly brigade Marching on Doomed parade But now shes gone away She was here Forever, Im afraid She was real No longer shall the night, from the sun Provide its blessed shade I saw her with my eyes She was real I touched her with my hands She was here Right here in this room it was She whispered in my ear Lost forever... to hell. Here is a wound, To go with your uniform Here is a message, youll never forget Back in your tomb, reaping your true reward The path you have chosen, youll learn to regret Sleep, angel sleep. Be not a ghost trapped in the light Be as the day, and pass away Into the night. The night moves like a glacier, slow and cold Yet rage takes over as I see the plan unfold So thats your game, to take away the only friend I?ve ever made In this place How we laughed At the ghostly brigade Marching on Doomed parade I must say Im impressed Such cruelty in a jest The depth of your malevolence, the fools would never guess
