Before the Dawn – Chains

All Music

Each footprint marks a loss
Tracks leading away
Misfortune as a companion
Endless trail of my failures

Like a boulder to carry
The burden of defeat
The weight of the past
Like chains on my feet

Display of dejection
Towering despair
Superior regrets
Beyond compare

This bleak illustration
Impression in shades of grey
Like a shutter malfunction
Burning colors away

Black canvas that hides all stains
The dirt of each passing day
Scrapes from your nails
Draw through the layers
Portray the dark

Display of dejection
Towering despair
Superior regrets
Beyond compare
