[Verse 1]
Tired of dull ages, I walk the same ground
Collecting the tragedies still
Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind
Carried my cross to the hill
[Chorus]
And how I lust for the dance and the fire
Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink
Spill me the wind and its fire
To steal of the colors
I'm the Moonshield
[Verse 2]
Shattered hope became my guide
And grief and pain my friends
A brother pact in a blood-ink pen
Declared my silent end
[Verse 3]
Naked and dying
Under worlds of silent stone
Reaching for the Moonshield
That once upon us shone
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Naked and dying
Under worlds of silent stone
Reaching for the Moonshield
That once upon us shone
[Chorus]
How I lust for the dance and the fire
Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink
Spill me the wind and its fire
To steal of the colors
[Outro]
I am
I am
I am
I'm the Moonshield
