Dead Silence
(ahhhh) Footsteps heavy on the frozen road
A silhouette counting every breath I owe
Cold air creeping through the windowpane
Calling out my name without a sound
I hear the hourglass run dry
No hiding under daylight skies
It keeps walking, never running,
always near
One step behind everything I love and fear
It needs no weapon,
it just waits for time
(always
near)
I painted silver on the front door frame
Still found the latch turning just the same
A patience carved out of steady stone
I never sleep alone
I hear the hourglass run dry
No hiding under daylight skies
It keeps walking, never running,
always near
One step behind everything I love and fear
It needs no weapon,
it just waits for
time
(it never stops)
No locks can hold it back No prayer can turn it round (ahhhh)
It keeps walking, never running,
always near!
One step behind everything I love and fear!
It needs no weapon,
it just waits for time
