Beyond Eternity - The Parting lyrics

The manor miles behind my back My woman there in tears and wait Two days away from the old life To fight I go in knightly oath Her eyes are haunting my grim days Last days of life for the battle slain And still this forest that I’m in Seems to have known my present pain Five days of sad ride to the strife With my heart bleeding from within Will I ever see my unborn son My duty holds life’s prison keys My doubts a burden in my head The opening of war a wrong But once the word is issued out No going back, onwards to our end Our arms again shall dip in blood Of brothers under Godly sight An ancient crime as old as man But blind obedience we’re taught My eyes so full of anger wrinkle With all the grief that is in death So many questions tear me apart Perhaps I’ll find the answers there
