Shield Anvil

Swept out of my flesh in a storm of pain
The waves of a million memories beating me down
I'm taken into an ethereal space
Cold and ancient winds on my face

A chorus of howls as lovers return
Celebrating the new rebirth

I will shoulder the burden of grief
The sorrow of thousands upon my back
The ghosts of eons return in dreams
I am Shield Anvil of the fallen reve

The voice of legions asks me why
The answer love and an outstretched hand
When faith outlives its god
Mercy is the only answer

For a god of war must be a god of grief
The pain of bereavement beggars belief

I will shoulder the burden of grief
The sorrow of thousands upon my back
The ghosts of eons return in dreams
I am Shield Anvil of the fallen reve

I will shoulder the burden of grief
The sorrow of thousands upon my back
The ghosts of eons return in dreams
I am Shield Anvil of the fallen reve

In the hour of loss I offer relief
The walls of Coral now shadowed and black
There is hope in compassion's embrace
Now I kneel and I shall not rise again
