The Wraith of the Rings

A stone's throw after midnight
Standing in the rain
Just echoes of a heartbeat
As lonely as the grave

The silence rules the half-light
With deafening resound
As the iridescent moonlight
Falls softly to the ground

If only for a moment
There's peace on middle earth
Till stepping from shadows
They arrived without a word

Don't make a sound
We're all out of miracles
I shake with fear
And watch the wraiths of the ring appear
They're reaching out
They're tireless and cynical
I smell the death
And know the wraiths of the ring are here
They know that the ring is near

A locked door should be airtight
Pull the shutters down
Better pray that in the daylight
We can turn this world around

We tip-toe in the footsteps
Of those who went before
The weary and the breathless
Deny what fate befalls

A few souls in the darkness
Are faithful to the cause
So we gather 'round the embers
Of a dream worth fighting for

Don't make a sound
We're all out of miracles
I shake with fear
And watch the wraiths of the ring appear
They're reaching out
They're tireless and cynical
I smell the death
And know the wraiths of the ring are here
They know that the ring is near

A wrong move from a graveside
And no one dares to breathe
We would die than ever question
The paths of true belief

Don't make a sound
We're all out of miracles
I shake with fear
And watch the wraiths of the ring appear
They're reaching out
They're tireless and cynical
I smell the death
And know the wraiths of the ring are here
They know that the ring is near

Don't make a sound
We're all out of miracles
I shake with fear
And watch the wraiths of the ring appear
They're reaching out
They're tireless and cynical
I smell the death
And know the wraiths of the ring are here
They know that the ring is near

Don't make a sound
We're all out of miracles
I shake with fear
And watch the wraiths of the ring appear
They're reaching out
They're tireless and cynical
I smell the death
And know the wraiths of the ring are here
They know that the ring is near
