The Hour of Defeat Lyrics


(1)

The heart and mind

Divided, entwined

All my sorrow’s been told

Like all times before

I’m alone out here

Under skies so clear

But no one’s near to me

All alone I am free

(Ref)

I wonder how I’ ll carry on – without those feet at my side

Covered in dust with shoes outworn – the trail of the sun I’ll travel on

(2)

The soul and the heart

Scarred and apart

All the stars I’ve reached

Like there’s nothing to keep

All surveys I’ve failed

All sense’s been erased

It seems that all has been lost

In this desert of dust

(Ref)

I wonder how I’ll carry on – without those voices at my side

Covered in dust with life outworn – the trail of the night I’m travelling on

To never see the day arise – I lay to rest this life of mine

I’m left to keep my promises – At gallows end I’ll chose to rest
