Gallows Bird Lyrics


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...

BIRD VERSE I.

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.

BIRD VERSE II.

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

If the song of the gallows bird

is the messenger between worlds

Deliver me from a bitter past

So I may find rest at last

Why?

Hear the blackbird's song

A fallen man's beacon

The sunrise – paints your eyes

Rays of light chase away the night

The ships have come ashore

Parting the storm

Though the tide bears – all your nightmares

Sails of white come to take you home

As I bear you on board

A circle is formed

Horizon to horizon

Life begins where a journey ends
