In dying light, the day is fading
Defeated eyes regard the sun
That sinks behind the broad horizon
Until the two melt into one

Beneath the gravity of failure
Pinned to the unforgiving earth
Bargains we made with fate unyielding
Proved to be without much worth

Raise your fists and crush eternity
In the name of all the suffering endured
When anger overtakes serenity
Restraint and limitation seem absurd

Outside there blows the wind of conflict
With howling gales that shake the ground
Awakening a quiet vengeance
Belief recovered, courage found

Raise your fists and crush eternity
In the name of all the suffering endured
When anger overtakes serenity
Restraint and limitation seem absurd

The tables turned, the balance shifted
And fragments of the day remain
To light the path in silent witness
To all the fury and the shame

Raise your fists and crush eternity
In the name of all the suffering endured
When anger overtakes serenity
Restraint and limitation seem absurd
