Shadow Gallery

Early morn I was up long before dawn
I watched you sleep
I counted every beat of your heart
Now we both know we'll never go back there again
Guilty as charged that's all
Fallen snow - cover me
Wash me pure - Hold me tight
What else is there left for you and for me?
The life we once held on to caught in a riptide out to sea
I left with innocent eyes to a nation so poor
I felt humanity cry from the ravage of war
I infiltrated the machine and it broke me in two
I wish for amnesty now and I find it in you
I make this vow
The road to this place under a thundering sky
It's a long walk to heaven
Lord knows I've tried
Just look around wind and snow and ice are all I see
Save for you my queen
Pounding rhythms
Distant footsteps
Echo fear
And drive my pain
I am crying out for love and for life eternal
I am witness
I've been purchased with blood
So many souls will burn out
