lyrics

one thousand nights of bitter foreign battles
over moonlit lands
she walks in the mist and I laugh like I'm home again
conquered by a single kiss
she moves through my thoughts like an angel with a knife
into a war torn life
I know that after all the soldiers fall asleep
she cracks the walls that hide me from the sea

crawl low, sweet boy
the killer peddles silence through the shattered air
I fall to my knees
rain hell in 360 degrees
gray skies cry black tears
she reaches for my hand over bullet-ridden shores
the thickest fog of war
I know that after all the guns are snapped in two
trenches shift to panoramic views
after all the legends have been maed
still life captures an angel's serenade

but I never thought that you would command the enemy army
moment maneuvers cease, I'll sign the jagged line of peace
his lover safe in bed,
the soldier rests his head on the lunette's edge
and waits for it to fall
