There's a wall I wanna sign with these words to underline
 that I need time to look for my way
 I need a stretch of open ground to see my way to hear the sound
 Of my will wondering if I should stay 

 When your hand draws shadows
 It's killing the afterglow
 I no longer know 

 Will the sun keep shining, If they shoot down the birds aflight from the zenith to horizon 

 And now the moon has come to greet the dying earth beneath my feet
 I feel close to the end of the day
 So when it's time for me to go, am I free or do I owe
 My soul for my part in this play 

 Still your hand draws shadows,
 Killing the afterglow
 Why won't it let go 

 Will the days keep dawning, If they send our children into the night taking your poison 

 Breathe life into me now
 I Need you to show me how
 Breath life don't hold me down
 I need you to carry my crown 

 Will the days keep dawning
 If they send our children into the night taking your poison
 Still your hand is drawing the shadow
 Why won't you just it let glow
 Bitter afterglow
