When Light Is Cast Away

Long has the fallen wandered,
through doors with no return.
To the edge of Darkness' glory,
to glimmering seas of blood.

Where long ago it was sought for,
when darkness was at bay.
To the one who waged war,
to the one with no heart.

Rivers of sighs and groans,
whence once they came from the world,
are now flowing through dying fortresses,
are now fading without a word.
