The Last Prayer

I pray in the night for the will to fight
To carry the banner once more with me
As I look around, the faces I've found
Mere ghosts walking beside me

I pray through the night for this last fight
That all will somehow be alright
But all I see strewn before me
The dying of the light

Our boots hit the floor, race through the door
Shining for all the world to see
In valor we fight, for love we die
And hope for what will never be

Muster your courage and charge into the black
Burn bright once more, sound the cry
Heaven awaits as the whole world breaks
And all we've ever loved will die

For them we fight, for them we die
Our lives mean nothing as they are
For all to see, our memory
Will be carved into the floor

Will light shine again 'cause I didn't give in?
Will all go back to the way it was again?
Will the dark be undone by the hand of the one
Who gave himself in love for them?

All I see, the black before me
And pray that somehow the scratch I'll leave
Will drown my grave in its dying blood
