The Red Hood - Aviators

When once, long ago

I was worn down and abused

The strongest took the spoils

And then we fell at their shoes

But now they are gone

And my sanity’s kept by my chains

So I bear them both in faith and hate

For family and all that remains

Fight, to ignite

Not for gods nor the coming of night

If I’m the last of the men to fall

Then this warrior’s growing in might

For fear and for love

And survival when push comes to shove

The red hood is coming to take you home

The bearer of soul and of light

Old kings will fade

When the last of the light’s fading too

The castles long have fallen

And the paintings faded blue

So here now you stand

We are human yet both something new

The last prize has been taken

Now the red hood faces you

Here in the ashes

Balanced and whole

I endlessly hunger

For power of soul

At the end of all the ages

In the last of my crusades

You’re the red hood’s last contender

And the first one unafraid

I’m regretful to have hurt you

But this world’s blood must be spilled

I’ll return home as a monster

From the bad dream that I’ve killed
