Woke up in silence after my nightmares

Swallowed, the screams that lived in the darkness

Chilled to the bones, felt nothing but weakness

Cold as the corpse the murderer’s leaving

Opened my eyes, all bloodshot and aching

(Felt) hardly alive, my hands were trembling

Staggered outside (on) a pale winter’s morning

Painful to breathe and the loneliness haunting

“For how long will you sleep? And hide in your dreams?

How much more can you take before you awake to the cold light of day?

This is your chilling dawn”

(Guitar-solo)

A couple of swans in flight from my city

Out of the smog and over the chimneys

Nothing could ever stop or divide them

Leaving the grey world’s troubles behind them

(Guitar-solo)
