Oath

Time tells all once it has passed you Didn't know what this would lead to Just can't seem to reconcile Tales of old and some not yet told Past comes back round in full circle But I will not falter or shun Firm now in my sense of purpose Seen the need; I won't back down Haunted by long buried men Signed on so I will see it through Take them down, they can't continue Find my stride along for the ride A girl was murdered here What happened still not clear Killer on the loose Screams rent and chill the air Her body's lying there Killer on the loose Killer on the loose Ribbons of blue and white Catch rays of pale moonlight Killer on the loose Limbs bent unnaturally A sight that none should see Killer on the loose Killer on the loose Pent up aggression rains False claimed ascent Maimed by derision he Acts violently Madness consumes him now Madness consumes him Madness consumes him now Madness consumes him Madness consumes him now Madness consumes him Madness consumes him now Madness consumes him Forge on, sift through his plot Folly must come to an end Seek clues, keep working the scenes Something must break in the end Keep on fighting Can't feel All this pain, no refrain Keep on pushing Won't feel All this pain or the strain Keep on Pushing Fighting Now To the one who knows To a love that grows With these words I pledge Mind and heart and soul To you Since the day I learned I have understood Held you in my mind, not my arms But you see me now Love for you is pure Let me hold you now and always To the one who knows Will you stay with me With these vows I ask Mind and heart and soul Please say you'll be here, by my side Ramparts and ditches; all's been bolstered Get the men to their positions and hold Give them cause to flee the victims End them and their fruitless siege Powder packed, guns well aimed, launch a volley They won't breach our walls without loss of limb Make a call and cut your losses Failed to break our battlements Ramparts and ditches; all's been bolstered Get the men to their positions and hold Give them cause to flee the victims End them and their fruitless siege Powder packed, guns well aimed, launch a volley They won't breach our walls without loss of limb Make a call and cut your losses Failed to break our battlements Ramparts and ditches; all's been bolstered Get the men to their positions and hold Give them cause to flee the victims End them and their fruitless siege Rise up and hold steadfast Don't let them take our city Give fire; send warning Won't let them take our city Rise up and hold steadfast Don't let them take our city Won't bow down to them Seen the picture, now at a loss The girl behind him, bears the mark A drop of blood beads from her fingertip Heraldic emblem And to whom, it most concerns The Covenant's proofs were all stored in here Playing their game, with forced concubines Sculpting a bloodline Guess it's true then, what they all say That picture's worth a thousand words Is it convincing, does he have his proof King's blood in his veins Set the bait, they followed it there Now he's won, they're trapped in his lair Took so long, for this moment to come Worth the wait, triumph is sweet Has a plan, it's only too cruel Make them pay, for thinking him a fool Turn their swords, force the allies to duel Masters' work, and the blood will pool But wait, and look again. There's something going on In stride, they've changed the game. Wordless messages Blind hate, he missed the trick. And now it's coming undone Too late, folly's complete. Adversaries have won In the end, the pen holds true might Sets things wrong, sets them right With this nib and ink I'll break the link Bond's broken Finally free
