Siege Perilous

Unclench those fists
Release that white knuckled grip
A resolution to fruitless searching
A renouncement of sentimental frailty

Farewell, age'ed stalwarts
Farewell, stagnant corruption
Arise from our deathbed
Return to life just to walk away

Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
Turn back the page with my friend
With my friend from so far away

Farewell, age'ed stalwarts
Farewell, ancient corruption
Arise from our deathbed
Return to life just to walk away

We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies
Peace has finally come upon me
Come upon me and it leaves me weak

Farewell, age'ed stalwarts
Farewell, stagnant corruption
Arise from our deathbed
Return to life just to walk away

And I'm not coming back
