lyrics

Footsteps flowed,
I watched you flee,
Across the village,
To the sea,
Did you once look back for me?

So this room,
Becomes my jail,
Frozen wishes, I exhale,
Turn blue skies dark, and fail.

He is now my sentinel,
Paws and muzzle,
Sight and smell,
He’ll wait for him as well.

So we sit,
Stare at the door,
As my tears fall, for what you swore,
Let slip the dogs of war.

And I will change truth into fantasy,
I’ll leave this place and take to the skies,
In my heart a cold, dark cavalry,
watches me when loyalty dies.
And I will deal with this.
I will deal with this.
I will deal with this.

In the quiet,
Fires fade,
Has forgiveness been betrayed?
Can this heart be remade?

They’re rushing in,
To change your stars,
Into snake heads, blood and scars,
Remember what was ours.

And I will deal with this.
I will deal with this.
I will deal with this.

I will change truth into fantasy,
I’ll leave this place and take to the skies,
In my heart a cold, dark cavalry,
watches me when loyalty dies.

I will change truth into fantasy,
I’ll leave this place and take to the skies,
In my heart a cold, dark cavalry,
watches me when loyalty dies.
