Hadrian Carrying Stones - Lunar Shadow

Hadrian, oh lonely man

Take a look across the fen

Struggle in a land afar

Where yellow suns are red

Throw away your sword

Cloaked in darkness

Atop the hill

Towers your esperance

Why is life bitter still?

Hadrian, the gods have lied

Sons of eagle’s gold defied

Caesar strong thy banners fall

When earth is sky

Carry stones to barren wastelands

White bleach the foams of Tyne

Legions marching

Hide your hopes

Save your life and die

From Shadow to the edge of night

We’ll stand

Shadow, cloud and shade

All shall fade, all shall fade

While all shall fade in silver sand and sulphur fire

Grief is forever

Thy fortress tamed the dusk and wed the dawn

Climb its spires and

Be no more
