Bm
Hundred men they were

F#m
As they set out to fight

           A                                    E
For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands.

Bm
He bid her farewell,

F#m
A love still young and green,

      A                                 E
She thought she'd soon be in his arms again.

F#m                            D
He told her: "Await my safe return,

                                      A
Trust in this last promise and stand firm:

                                    E
Once moonlight shines red onto the seas

                             F#m
We shall all return in victory."

                                        D
They marched off, blue banners in the sky,

                                    A
And teardrops were running from her eyes,

                               E
Yet she thought: "If only I believe,

                                   F#m
Time will bring him safely back to me."

                             D
When the red moon casts its light

                               A
His ghost travels through the night,

                               E
Through the forests on wind's wings

                         F#m
Till he reaches the old hill.

                              D
There she kneels before his grave,

                                A
Where their love had once been born,

                     E
And he caresses her face,

                          D
Yet she feels not his embrace.

          E             F#m
Dark and red glows the winter sky,

D            E             F#m
Two souls divided by the threads of time.

Bm
Days turned into weeks,

F#m
Moon for moon passed by,

     A                               E
Yet no word from the battlefields arrived.

Bm
Months turned into years,

F#m
Peace now ruled the lands,

A                                 E
Empty graves were dug under the sky.

F#m                              D
But never did she doubt his last oath,

                                     A
Each night she stepped out into the cold;

                                            E
She walked through the forest, climbed the hill,

                                     F#m
Where she had once sworn her love to him.

                                 D
And always, when summer bid goodbye

                                       A
And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky,

                                      E
His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones

                                    F#m
Searching for what he had lost too soon.

                             D
When the red moon casts its light

                               A
His ghost travels through the night,

                               E
Through the forests on wind's wings

                         F#m
Till he reaches the old hill.

                              D
There she kneels before his grave,

                                A
Where their love had once been born,

                     E
And he caresses her face,

                          D
Yet she feels not his embrace.

          E             F#m
Dark and red glows the winter sky,

D            E             F#m
Two souls divided by the threads of time.

F#m  D   A   E
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh

F#m  D   A   E
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh

Bm
Decades had gone by,

F#m
Her hair ashen and thin,

A                                   E
Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten.

Bm
When she walked the streets

F#m
They said that she was damned,

   A                              E
A victim to a past long gone and rotten.

F#m                                   D
Yet still she did not care for their words,

                                       A
When night came, she prayed for his return.

                                       E
Each fall when cold winds haunted the lands,

                                 F#m
She hoped to once again hold his hand.

                                  D
And as her last sunset drew close by,

                               A
She lingered forgotten in the night.

                                         E
The moon's light shines bright upon her face,

                                 F#m
She's waiting as her life fades away.

                             D
When the red moon casts its light

                               A
His ghost travels through the night,

                               E
Through the forests on wind's wings

                         F#m
Till he reaches the old hill.

                              D
There she kneels before his grave,

                                A
Where their love had once been born,

                      E
And as she closes her eyes,

                                   F#m
A ray of light breaks through the sky,

                         D
And her skin turns into dust

                             A
As her soul breaks from its shell

                          E
And she joins him in the sky,

                                    F#m
Two shapes now freed from grief and time.

                           D
Then the winds take them away

                                 A
Through the woods, its trees asway,

                          E
And she takes him by his hand.

                                   D
At last, in peace, they find their end.

          E             F#m
Dark and red glows the winter sky,

D            E             F#m
Two souls divided by the threads of time.

D         E              F#m
Dark and red glowed the winter sky,

D           E             F#m
Two souls united by the threads of time.
