The stars are not out tonight<br />

The mood glows dull<br />

Slung low in the sky<br />

It is a foolish thing to waste<br />

The mysteries<br />

Of the night<br />

It is a tragedy to lose<br />

The one thing you thought<br />

Might begin<br />

That revolution<br />

Within your heart<br />

It is crazy to lose<br />

A golden chance<br />

Yet a chance is all<br />

That remains<br />

For we are built<br />

On hopes<br />

And restless dreams<br />

So weak are the hearts of man<br />

What is destined to be?<br />

What is the price to replace the stars<br />

Into their darkened canopy?<br />

It is far more than I can afford<br />

Yet loan me your heart<br />

And perhaps we can<br />

Find a way<br />

To mend the holes<br />

That scar the night<br />

Let me wish<br />

Let me cry<br />

Let yourself return to me<br />

To end what never began<br />

To begin a different ending<br />

To finish the story<br />

Under the stars<br />

O’ victory, sweet victory<br />

Cry the brave men tonight<br />

As mightily they try to fight<br />

For the growing, longing victory.<br />

Freely flows blood’s redness<br />

<strong>St</strong>aining all the ground<br />

The howl of death’s hound<br />

Shatters the souls of the young and old.<br />

By sword and arrow<br />

Victims fall about<br />

And their souls take a rout<br />

Guided by the angels of death.<br />

And centuries later<br />

Casualties of bomb and shell<br />

Follow the same course of hell<br />

Where disease kills the most.<br />

How cruel we are!<br />

With all the blood shed<br />

‘Till our hands run red<br />

As we sit in awe.<br />

But be warned!<br />

Death comes to all<br />

For even the mighty<br />

Will one day fall.
