Day 28: A Song That Makes Me Feel Guilty

Don't Say A Word by Sonata Arctica from Reckoning Night (2006) I don't recall a song that has actually made me feel guilty. I've cried to songs but not out of guilt.

As the sun rises I see our banners flowing in the wind And the sounds of trumpets calling for war All that night I lay awake Thinking you, thinking war The madness and despair I have seen Now the time has come We will charge to our doom Arrows are whistling by my ears as we ride Please my guardian angel, let me see my love again In the mercy I thrive, shelter me, as I shelter mine I'm riding away from the light of the day A letter left behind to lighten my way I'm writing to you maybe (the) last time...
