Intro (0:15)

G



Verse (0:28)

G
The lore of elders passes judgement on this waste
G
And finding me or them does lack accepting fate
G
And as the moments pass another face arrives
G
We watch them come and go with speed of passing clouds

Verse (1:08)

G
Forbidden fruits of dreams that rule our thoughts my love
G
Of lands untouched and ways to come always maybe
G
But choking on promises meant for the deal
G
Thinking again the darkest hour before the dawn

Transition (2:00)

G



Verse (2:14)

G
Confirming fears that from the dawn of time have been
G
Retracing footsteps in dark chambers of grey lands
G
And through the madness through the terror we must pass
G
As if awaiting sunlight that may never come

Verse (3:47)

G
In time we face ourselves with all our faults and fears
G
Now that i know the final conflict is within

G
"Come journey, journey with me through the darkest hour"
