Lyrics Gallows Bird - Trees of Eternity, Nick Holmes

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
Mmm...
Dreams are unable to come
Mmm...
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?
Mmm...
Fear is unable to come
Mmm...
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 the 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
