Gallows Bird - Trees of Eternity, Nick Holmes

A red sun on the horizon

Marks the hour of your call

Somber is the one whose eyes are still veiled

Watching your departure

As mine watch you arrive...

Your hands are tied

Your mask applied

The mark of shame

You wear to all eyes

No glimpse of light

Can touch your mind

So black inside

As you face your crime

Mmm...

Dreams are unable to come

Mmm...

With you on this journey that's just begun

Not a sigh

As your noose is tied

Is it pride

Or are you frozen inside?

Mmm...

Fear is unable to come

Mmm...

With you on this journey that's just begun

How can I make peace with my path

When life has come to this?

Chased by the shadow of my past

Eclipsed by what lies ahead

As the last ray of hope is lost

Fight and resistance

Nothing remains to hold

Me to this existence
