Halls and Chambers

Victims of the renaissance
Might screamed in the dead of night
The horror, the terror
Ruler in machiavellian
Days stole all of their days away
To darkness to sadness

I still see painful eyes
I still hear distant sighs
Among shadows lingering on

Gaze up high into the open sky
From these halls and chambers
To the moon and to the winds I cry

Soul's aglow in the darkest of
Hue miseries are still undue
Forever and ever
I caress the thickening
Air and all memories it bear
With yearning and longing

I still see painful eyes
I still hear distant sighs
Among shadows lingering on

Gaze up high into the open sky
From these halls and chambers
To the moon and to the winds I cry

Far behind these castle walls
Glories and virtues fall
Fall for the lunacy
Deep inside where the time weeps
Tyranny is fast asleep
In shadows, in echoes

I still see painful eyes
I still hear distant sighs
Among shadows lingering on

Dim is the day for the grim and the grey
As destiny's proven unfair
Fair as a fay is the dawning of the day
At which I forlornly do gaze
