Upon the dawn A young man looked out And he gazed past out o'er the water He looked up and saw He saw cross the south And his gaze fell upon the true daughter "Callous without the life unloved Heart emblazened Madness sourrounds my will be done Soulless laden me..." And to the brown earth He muddled his blade And beset for the lie he embraced (No greater challange had he faced...) Softly he crept upon the bow Towards the seated Godly adept unspoiled how Maiden bleated "Avast ye now, I take thy hand For tomorrow We cross to traverse distant lands You will follow me..." A thinning in the distance A descent from on high A pedestal uprooted A prophecy on nigh The shattered walls they crumbled Forsook with no employ No lesser man would follow The Fall of Troy Bliss ever-after endless dream Sore mistaken Sightless unseen a silver gleam Love's life taken Wither a flash so short to last Bloodied token Witness collapse the seeds relapse Man's will broken Fractured resolve corrupt devolve Breeding hatred Seething uncouth so blind to truth Sentence fated Finding no path perchance to fail Endless battle Feeling no sorrow slay exhale All like cattle "All hopes and dreams destroyed at once Nothing matters No want nor need benevolence My life shattered Innocence gone no goal beyond Falling lifeless Absent a soul, absolve, abscond Make me sightless" All laid to waste, no living trace No tomorrow But with devolving laying waste Time is borrowed "Live by the blade, fall by thy sword Lest redemption Comes to thy aid, allow these words Slowly mention Fighting tension Every inch in me..." A thinning in the distance A descent from on high A pedestal uprooted A prophecy on nigh The shattered walls they crumbled Forsook with no employ No lesser man would follow The Fall of Troy A never-ending journey Across the silver sands Through the wretched hills and forests Of a thousand foreign lands Atonement for the fallen Attempt to cleanse one's soul Painted black as stolen ember's dying coal Lost and long forgotten A wary path he treads A single oath unbroken To rectify the dead A thousand souls of tarnish A century of sin (to repent) But with no earthly measure He nonentheless pressed on... A thickening from distance An ascent from below A pedestal recovered With hope's triumphant glow And though the walls had crumbled His honor was deployed A greater man shall follow The Fall of Troy Troy has fallen Troy has fall'n... Troy has fallen Troy has fall'n... Troy has fallen Troy has fall'n... Troy has fallen Troy has fall'n...

The Porter worked the rails from East to Kansas The Old Man hopped aboard the Boston line He had important business to attend to The Porter was to help him watch the time "Now see here, son, I disembark at Cleveland If schedule's true, we'll arrive at 4 AM I'll catch a few hour's rest, but do awake me I'm quite a heavy sleeper, don't give up, just persist, if I resist... Eventually the Old Man grew quite tired He slept in his compartment bundled tight The Porter was a man to keep his promise The train continued rolling through the night [Time Passes] The old man woke to unfamiliar surroundings And stormed out of his cabin in a huff He realized they were nearly to Chicago He grabbed the Porter's collar by the cuff "You little runt, I gave but simple orders And here you go and fail me like a bore Goodbye, good riddance, learn to do your job, son!" He hurried out across the station floor The Porter stood a moment dumb and speechless He thought back o'er the hours and picked his brain "If that's the guy that wanted off in Cleavland, then who's the old man I put off the train...?"
