Dark At Dawn - Daybreak lyrics

As the sky's a flame, he stood high upon that hill

Only him to blame, on his limbs this frozen chill

That calls on him, the glow's beyond these mountainsides

And creeps his skin, he prays for sun, he prays for light

Now he fears so deep the second coming of a day

Just to fall asleep, his skin still covered by the haze

That veils his eyes, and in the crimson light of dawn

His life's demise - a stillborn child there in his arms

Chorus

This son of mine - Take me

Broken his eyes - Break me

A life for a life - Freeze my heart beneath this new horizon...

As the sight grew clear, a sparrow glides from far above

For to touch so dear, oh, this tiny child, my love

A lifeblood's leave, as the beam caresses its wings

It sings the tune, calling lost life from deep within

Chorus

Taking this side for to give him some time - breaks a day

Changing a light is a barter of time - seals the way

Chorus
