Just one Night

It is possible to rise above, to soar rather than crash below
But in darkest of days, it seems we live in eternal shadows
The cold of the exposure, frozen seconds on a ticking clock
Endurance impossible, my life is empty, my words just talk
Time and the tides repeat ever lasting, every cycle complete
In the chimes, sounds echo, calls out the news of my defeat
All I've needed was one night of sleep, one chance to dream
I was forsaken, no hope to survive, my emotions indiscreet
I promise to continue my quest, to serve my beloved queen
Knowing I'll not live through the journey or be redeemed
Enduring whatever sorrows me, life's battlefield I'll not flee
