Ben Gordon - Alone lyrics

Shifting light outlines my battered form Stranger to the world Alone in my abandonment A gaining army of white horses Stark warning race before the icy front The deceiving calm betrays all signs of impending change Evening tide, what do you hide? Damnation or salvation? As my skin breaks the blackened surface The cold is rising, yet all embracing Darkness, erase this lonesome place From my every existence An angry sky bares the signs A distant violence yet to break The ocean's travelers cry forth across the waves Lightning cracks across a vast horizon Reaching out its hands towards an unsuspecting shore No light to guide No ties, no ties to bind Evening tide, what do you hide? What do you hide? To the years spent waiting on the winds of change This is penance paid This is my penance paid To the morning Sun Whose warmth never found this young man's face Shifting light outlines my battered form Stranger to the world Alone! Evening tide, what do you hide? What do you hide? Lightning cracks across a vast horizon Reaching out its hands towards an unsuspecting shore With a final effort, I strike out across the swells Seeking only the answers maybe horizons hold With a final effort, I strike out across the swells Seeking only the answers maybe horizons hold
