Lyrics The Red Hood - Acoustic Version - Aviators

When once, long ago
I was worn down and abused
The strongest took the spoils, and
Then we fell down at their shoes
But now, they are gone
And my sanity's kept by my chains
So I bear them both in faith and hate
For family and all that remains

Fight, to ignite
Not for Gods nor the coming of night
If I'm the last of the men to fall
Then this warrior's growing in might
For fear and for love
And survival when push comes to shove
The Red Hood is coming to take you home
The bearer of Soul and of light

And old kings will fade
When the last of the light's fading too
The castles long have fallen, and
The paintings faded blue
So here, now you stand
We are human yet both something new
The last prize has been taken
Now the Red Hood faces you

Fight, to ignite
Not for Gods nor the coming of night
If I'm the last of the men to fall
Then this warrior's growing in might
For fear and for love
And survival when push comes to shove
The Red Hood is coming to take you home
The bearer of Soul and of light

Though some of us won't make it back
We're following into the black
Unknown for a long lost throne we rise again
Where others might look for escape
These lights in the dark search for grace
Once lost to a blood-soaked cause
I will rise

Here in the ashes balanced and whole
Endlessly searching for power and soul
At the end of all the ages
In the last of my crusades
You're the Red Hood's last contender
But your world must fade away

Though graceless and exiled
Still loyal the same
Returning to roots through the
Dark and the flame
When lords rise against
Have it writ on their graves
The last soul was claimed by a mortal unnamed

Fight, to ignite
Not for Gods nor the coming of night
If I'm the last of the men to fall
Then this warrior's growing in might
For fear and for love
And survival when push comes to shove
The Red Hood is coming to take you home
The bearer of Soul and of light

We will die again
At the fire's end
Over and over
At the end of time
We will testify
We rise again
