By The Gallows

In fear of wolves you've built all these walls

And raised these gallows to let them swing

This night won't fade, too cold to rest

You hide your face and cover up your heart

Like you didn't see it

And may their screams follow you to sleep

All caged, all drained

At the will of your hand

The day you chose to turn away

You've watched from cliffs. Seeing them drown

You've hidden in shadows, all gone astray

Like you didn't see it

And may their screams follow you to sleep

Like you couldn't feel it

This armoured soul. Brought to their knees
