Gallows Bird

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
 ♪
 Dreams are unable to come
 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?
 Fear is unable to come
 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 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
 If the song of the gallows bird
 Is the messenger between worlds
 Deliver me from a bitter past
 So I may find rest at last
 (Why?)
 (Why?)
 (Why?)
 ♪
 (Why?)
 Hear the blackbird's song
 A fallen man's beacon
 The sunrise paints your eyes
 Rays of light chase away the night
 The ships have come ashore
 Parting the storm
 The tide bears all your nightmares
 Sails of white come to take you home
 As I bear you on board
 A circle is formed
 Horizon to horizon
 Life begins where a journey ends
