As the Crow Dies

Vocals by Mike Andersson Time stopped that morning, the world started shaking It struck without warning, a blinding flare of light Now the sun is fading, the moon is but a shadow The land is changing to a cold and barren waste Try to remember her smile framed by sunlight Never forget her, the gift she gave to us Somehow I failed her, she could not face this future I could not save her from this dark and desperate life As the crow flies As the child softly cries The final trial of man As the crow dies As the ashes cloud the skies Will it ever fly again? I'm here to lead you on this road to your salvation I'm here to shield you from the horrors of this world You know I'm dying, I won't be there to guide you Don't lose that fire glowing deep inside
