Roland Lyrics - Quicksilver - Crüxshadows

Opportunities are lost 

in a starving shade of silence 

and every battle fought 

has left me looking back 

What we obtain through isolation 

often leads us deeper into war 

so tell me how can I retreat? 

some things are worth fighting for 

And how do we justify 

when actions are conceived in weakness 

is there honor in my heart 

if I lack the strength to act 

And though my hand is trembling 

and my eyes are wreathed in so much doubt 

and every instinct shows me fear 

I stand my ground 

We have no Olifant resounding 

nor fortunes here to carry home 

No epic tale becoming legend 

only choices right and wrong 

But somewhere in the haze of life 

I find there is a perfect shining light 

that each of us must seek to know 

the truth of who we really are 

So sing a song for Roland 

and all of those who sacrificed their lives 

their colors traded in for 

a world of black and white 

So sing a song for Roland 

and all of those who fought for what was right 

you may never understand 

for whom they died 

Perhaps they will banish me 

from the annals of history 

in the end it matters not 

we direct our destiny 

I've lived beyond myself for an instant 

and heard the echoes in the hearts and faces 

of the people I will never know 

but I still cannot forget
