Lyrics
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... <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">With you on this journey that's just begun

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Not a sigh <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">As your noose is tied <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Is it pride <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Or are you frozen inside? <span avoid-selection="" class="u-noselect" style="box-sizing:border-box;user-select:none;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;"> <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Mmm... <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Fear is unable to come <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Mmm... <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">With you on this journey that's just begun

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">How can I make peace with my path <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">When life has come to this? <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Chased by the shadow of my past <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Eclipsed by what lies ahead

<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">As the last ray of hope is lost <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Fight and resistance <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Nothing remains to hold <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Programme,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:100;">Me to this existence
