Intro (0:15)
G
Verse (0:28)
GThe lore of elders passes judgement on this waste
GAnd finding me or them does lack accepting fate
GAnd as the moments pass another face arrives
GWe watch them come and go with speed of passing clouds

Verse (1:08)
GForbidden fruits of dreams that rule our thoughts my love
GOf lands untouched and ways to come always maybe
GBut choking on promises meant for the deal
GThinking again the darkest hour before the dawn

G
Verse (2:14)
GConfirming fears that from the dawn of time have been
GRetracing footsteps in dark chambers of grey lands
GAnd through the madness through the terror we must pass
GAs if awaiting sunlight that may never come
