[00:49.88]Once there were trees full of birds,
[00:58.90]Meadowlands vibrant with flowers;
[01:07.62]Carefree the songs our children once sang
[01:16.51]Gilding our minutes and hours.
[01:25.54]Clouds came and covered the sun,
[01:34.27]The breath of a baleful unease
[01:43.20]Turning to ashes flowers in their fields,
[01:51.92]Silenced the birds in their trees.
[02:00.45]Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
[02:08.69]Imprisoned in twisting spells
[02:16.81]All of these ghosts of our own delusions are back;
[02:26.78]Are we're telling ourselves,telling ourselves?
[03:20.88]Strive till the phantoms are broken,
[03:29.70]Fight till the battle is done;
[03:38.43]The squadrons of night can't conquer the day,

[04:53.69]While this nightmare's laid me down in the rags here to mourn,
[05:06.57]Here to mourn.
[05:12.01]The night has left us crippled with grief
[05:21.18]As we strive to keep alive our belief.
[05:30.48]But a loss so great,it clouds all over our hopes for the dawn.
[05:49.63]Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
[05:58.56]Imprisoned in twisting spells.
[06:06.35]Are we the playing of fiends,or merely the dreams
[06:16.92]That we're telling ourselves,telling ourselves?
[06:27.20]Stories of danger,fearless attack,
[06:35.98]Spectres of plague and pain.
[06:43.22]All of these ghosts of our own delusions are back;
[06:54.24]And we'll be fighting in vain,fighting in vain.
