Soldiers Of Misfortune.

The soldiers of misfortune
are knocking at my door
breaking through the silence
what are they looking for?
They came without a warning
what right is it they claim
the darkness was shattered
the night they called my name.

CHORUS:
The peaceful tides are turning
the clouds release their rain
the soldiers of misfortune
are calling out my name.

The night grew deadly quiet
as though it hid in shame
a noise outside, a broken twig
a shadow crossed the pane.
Without a word, without a clue
my world was torn apart
when the soldiers of misfortune
broke in and stole my heart.

CHORUS:
The peaceful tides are turning
the clouds release their rain
the soldiers of misfortune
are calling out my name.

The note I read in darkness
revealed what fate had planned
as shock crept up to greet me
I dropped it from my hand
The silence roared like thunder
and left me almost deaf
the soldiers came to tell me
that you had packed and left.

CHORUS:
The peaceful tides are turning
the clouds release their rain
the soldiers of misfortune
are calling out my name...
the soldiers of misfortune
are calling out my name.
