Lyrics

I woke from a dream
Or in a dream I woke
Wondering if it’s night
The clock said dawn

But all I saw was darkness
The cold grey skies
Seeing the shadows
Shades of black

The wind is blowing
Right through my soul
The times are burning
With all that I know

The darkest morning
The fear of my dreams
The road with no end
AlI I can get through

The shapes in the darkness
What can they be
I see so many things
But none seem real

The noise is all around
Piercing the night
It’s trying to tell me something
Or perhaps nothing at all

Through the mysts of myth
Going back to black
The tears of fear
Tell me what’s real

The darkest morning
The fear of my dreams
The road with no end
AlI I can get through

The shapes in the darkness
What can they be
I see so many things
But none seem real

The I’s behind me
Far away faces
So close to me
Can they see what I hide

Those empty places
Wasting my time
Still around me
All to the end

The darkest morning
The fear of my dreams
The road with no end
AlI I can get through
The shapes in the darkness
What can they be
I see so many things
But none seem real

The darkest morning
The fear of my dreams
The road with no end
AlI I can get through
The shapes in the darkness
What can they be
I see so many things
But none seem real
