Impotent Moon

Hell awaits the night of the eclipse Til the moon betrays the tides It tells the waves to rise and awake But tonight, the moon simply hides The stars watch the flames in torment As the smoke impedes their view The sea stays silent and helpless For the moon tells it not what to do Blinded by darkness, no saviour is found For the hero knows not what to save Impotent, the moon thinks all is well By faith, it commands not the waves The lava is tirelessly reaching out Trying to give new land its birth But to bring forth its life, death must be found As hell's fury is unleashed on earth As the ocean sits in quiet frustration The Heaven's cannot make a sound The earth begs the sea for mercy But no solace will ever be found The moon that's been locked in darkness Cries, as it watches earth's fate For the eclipse is releasing its blindfold But the hero has entered too late
