nedped - Suspended by Darkness Lyrics

In spirit, I reach for the stars
Until the aspiration splinters
Hammering into a wall
Under the castle mountain's splendor
Suspend me; upend me
Amend me; defend me
Defend me

Soldiers stand unsettled ground
Tasked with turning tracks around
With lands to conquer
A cause to monger
Guided by the reason never found

My hungers march off to war
Drawn toward the taste of victory
I hold the bit in my mouth
As I squeeze the trigger of treachery
Unhinged by the vengeance
That rages through my veins
Enmity!

Tell me once more who to fight
Just want to get that one thing right
Killing's fulfilling
God be willing
To see nobility in might

Runners have taken their marks
They've been trained to go the distance
Gunners flank the facade
Built to symbolize division
Of warriors in battle
Defending what matters
To no one but warriors
In battle
In that world

Where might I direct a prayer?
Lord, I implore what's only fair
Eye for an eye means legions of blindness
How could this darkness rule the Earth?
