So soon the moon will come unfold her robe of constellations

And for a time the night was mine in endless fascination

But now she brings me only shadows and a host of memories

Marching on

Endlessly

Like a ghostly brigade

Marching on - Doomed parade

But now she's gone away (She was here)

Forever, I'm afraid (She was real)

No longer shall the night, from the sun

Provide its blessed shade

I saw her with my eyes (She was real)

I touched her with my hands (She was here)

Right here in this room it was She whispered in my ear

Lost forever... to hell.

Here is a wound, To go with your uniform

Here is a message, you'll never forget

Back in your tomb, reaping your true reward

The path you have chosen, you'll learn to regret

"Sleep, angel sleep.

Be not a ghost trapped in the light

Be as the day, and pass away

Into the night."

The night moves like a glacier, slow and cold

Yet rage takes over as I see the plan unfold

So that's your game, to take away the only friend I?ve ever made

In this place

How we laughed

At the ghostly brigade

Marching on - Doomed parade

I must say I'm impressed

Such cruelty in a jest

The depth of your malevolence, the fools would never guess
