Emperor - Grey lyrics

when all is dark there are no points of reference and we no longer navigate by the stars we just end up somewhere ...nowhere... where lights are dim and shades of black are grey time appears like a golden calf while the moments slip away a search for the freedom in the future when the hours fall behind I can always die another day desperately I seize tomorrow all out of my reach that is what I learned this is what I teach corruption seems to flourish while promises decay where lights are dim and shades of black are grey where lights are dim and shades of black are grey from the moment of arrival we are led astray with nothing but a distant cry from deep within a soul a wordless voice to guide us on the way desperately we name the voice and make the cries our own as if to deny the fact that we are all alone in solitude we mingle disillusioned we fall prey where lights are dim and shades of black are grey I can always live another day...
