Day and Then the Shade

I will rise

To dreams of freedom

And avow

To return the treason that came under your reign

The day and then the shade

I have slept

Inside the season that froze within my grasp

All my fears come into view

There must be an end soon

And every waking hour

Is part of the lie

I will rise

Over glass cathedrals

And let go

With my eyes resting upon the nearing dark

The day and then the shade

I have slept

Within the reason that kept me so remote

Make a brand new vow

In the heat of an evening

The darkness swarms

I was nothing, ever

But red like the sun

Dying down over the freeway

Is the brand new sky

Over the mountain ridge

All my fears come into view

There must be an end soon

And every waking hour

Is part of the lie

(2x)

Make a brand new vow

In the heat of an evening

The darkness swarms

I was nothing, ever

But red like the sun

Dying down over the freeway

Is the brand new sky

Over the mountain ridge
