Dawning

So many times I've allowed these tears to fall,
To run down from shattered eyes,
And I have heard those words that came from hollow walls,
Words that struck me, that killed good-byes,

So many with their broken spirits,
Golden ribbons round old oak trees,
So many who could never really live it,
And those who would never be,

(Chorus)
I'm going to cry again tonight, where I kneel,
So that these tears may wash away my guilt
And take away the pain we feel,
Maybe then, this evil that rose up at the dawning,
Will dissolve the blood we've spilt,

But the sands of time just keep spilling down,
Eating away the life we claim to understand,
And we just keep giving away our flesh by the pound,
Hoping to keep our gold and land,

(Chorus again)

Whatever will be will be,
No future for us to see,
No hearts in our chests to beat,
Just a long road, and a giving tree,

Maybe it's time for this world to end,
To give way for a new generation,
So now we must give back but the mother has lent,
And now must face her glorious wrath.....
