Theme

A poetic meditation on revolution, memory, and the struggle for liberation. Through vivid historical allusions—particularly to the fall of monarchies and the rise of revolutionary consciousness—the song explores societal upheaval with imagery drawn from tsarist Russia and apocalyptic visions. Tobias Forge intended this as an optimistic opening to a darker album, setting a tone of hope despite the album's introspective themes.

Lyrics
Pieces of what we could have been Pieces of a shattered dream Child, take your dark memories Like seeds, and plant them far from here Sow them Feed them Through shine and rain Your love will be born again The dawn of prosperity A faded scar An ended calamity A slaughtered tsar We all need something to believe in until it's over Anything, anyone, anytime, but it's not over yet This is what dreams are made of This is what they're afraid of A rhyme with no reason When they finally reach you You will have seen through That dark is the season Your love, bright as the starlight Oh, child, still we can see A black Moon over the peacefield Oh, child, stay close to me The end of a monarchy A state machine Unable to foresee The widow queen We all need something to believe in until it's over Anything, anyone, anytime, but it's not over yet Every new generation Hails a grand usurpation Devoid of treason For a man in a mirror It's all getting clearer That dark is the season Your love, bright as the starlight Oh, child, still we can see A black Moon over the peacefield Oh, child, stay close to me We are legion, join us One day, fate will find a way through the marches of death And right back to the bearer of light Your love, bright as the starlight Oh, child, still we can see A black Moon over the peacefield Oh, child, stay close to me Your love, bright as the starlight Oh, child, still we can see A black Moon over the peacefield Oh, child, stay close to me On the peacefield Peacefield On the peacefield Peacefield On the peacefield Peacefield On the peacefield Peacefield
