Intro (0:15)
G+G
Verse (0:28)
G+G
The lore of elders passes judgement on this waste
G+G
And finding me or them does lack accepting fate
G+G
And as the moments pass another face arrives
G+G
We watch them come and go with speed of passing clouds

Verse (1:08)
G+G
Forbidden fruits of dreams that rule our thoughts my love
G+G
Of lands untouched and ways to come always maybe
G+G
But choking on promises meant for the deal
G+G
Thinking again the darkest hour before the dawn

Transition (2:00)
G+G
Verse (2:14)
G+G
Confirming fears that from the dawn of time have been
G+G
Retracing footsteps in dark chambers of grey lands
G+G
And through the madness through the terror we must pass
G+G
As if awaiting sunlight that may never come

G+G
Verse (3:47)
G+G
In time we face ourselves with all our faults and fears
G+G
Now that i know the final conflict is within

G+G
"Come journey, journey with me through the darkest hour"
