Cries in the night
Though the screams are not heard Their thoughts are in flight Though none of them heard

Five hundred days they said
Five hundred days to dawn's great light Five hundred more before we're through with unwashed blood upon our hands. |

cold steel whines in the wind
as the treads tear through the hopes of a land just as if it were meant to be

The future of life
So free and so brave Though led by deceit They stay true to their heart

above the din of anger
surfacing from the depths of fear there is a new strain of hatred the voice, solitary, solid, clear |

Donaflora recoils, recoils back
into her house. She shuts the door, and lowers the blinds. |

Death dreams came suddenly that night.
The bodies of soldiers, slain, And all their kin stood cold with fright Donaflora sings her silent refrain. |

You will feel of the pain A long felt goodbye It soon starts to rain
