The Dark Element - The Pallbearer Walks Alone

[Writer: Jani Liimatainen]

There are children who'll never be born
There are souls that can never be saved
There are dreams that will never come true
So just pray it won't happen to you

There are houses that shouldn't be built
There are bridges that shouldn't be crossed
There are calls that just shouldn't be made
But we'll make them anyway

We will walk among the weakest
And we will walk alone
The crucible where the hardest of hearts are forged

Maybe we can keep on trying
And one day we'll become
Beautiful in the eyes of someone

One day no child will be left behind
One day no young boy will march to war
One day no old man will die alone
But that day is not today

Step right in, here the souls become cynical
Right this way to the end of our days
We were told that the end would be beautiful
No one told that the pallbearer walks alone

There are thoughts that should never be thought
There are things that should never be bought
There are words that are better unsaid
While our future it hangs by a thread

There are things that should never be done There are wars that can never be won
There are songs that shouldn't have to be sung
And I guess this is one

We will walk among the weakest
And we will walk alone
The crucible where the hardest of hearts are forged

Maybe we can keep on trying
And one day we'll become
Beautiful in the eyes of someone

One day we won't slay our brothers
One day we won't hate each other
One day we'll help one another
But that day is not today

Step right in, here the souls become cynical
Right this way to the end of our days
We were told that the end would be beautiful
No one told that the pallbearer walks alone

The pallbearer walks alone

One day we won't slay our brothers
One day we won't hate each other
One day we'll help one another
But that day is not today

Step right in, here the souls become cynical
Right this way to the end of our days
We were told that the end would be beautiful
No one told that the pallbearer walks alone

The pallbearer walks alone
