Crestfallen

Ire
Our land forlorn and defiled
In mire
Our dreams, there's nowhere to hide

Sirens
Echo the sound of demise
Tyrants
Coercive saviors disguise

Empty-handed and crestfallen
Where will I go in the dark by moonlight?
The joy, the laughter, now stolen
Walking to unknown with hazard in fright

A voice like thunder, for help calling
Breaking the silence of ebony skies
My soul in slumber, raw hauling
Nobody cares that my spirit now dies

Stranded, I perish, alas
Memories under the ash
The path in front of me so vast
Slipping in my future past

Where I could be free as a nightbird
Eager to fly high
Where I could sing melodies unheard
With no need to sigh

But I'm awake, breathing my nightmare
Derided the turn of the tide
Bringers of pain, despoilers of my lair
Taken our being, not our pride

I used to be free as a nightbird (nightbird)
Tearing the clouds, flying high
I used to sing melodies unheard
Delighted without a sigh

I was awake lingering my dreams
Riding the wind and the tide
Bringers of pain, despoilers of my lair
Taken our being, not our pride
