Before the Dawn

You're standing in silence, your eyes to the floor
A tear makes its path down your cheek
You're waiting for warmth but there will be no more
Your blood's growing cold like a creek

Your eyes are glazed over and shiny with tears
Your breath weaves white webs in the air
Making crystal streaks of rime appear
On your midnight-coloured hair

Your thoughts weigh you down like lead-laden sky
Thus keeping hostage your soul
The faint steel taste of blood in your mouth
Is huanting, decieving and foul

Not feeling the cold, you're still shaking
With the building storm of emotion
The flutter of your heaving chest
Is the only visible motion

You came here, 'cause you know you're a coward
'Cause you're tired and sick of regret
'Cause you can't stand the guilt anymore
And the nightmares you can not forget

So you're waiting for the dawn to come
To take away what's left of you
For the early spring to wipe your trail
And turn the frost-webs into dew
