Darkwoods Drain Backwaters

Scary are the times
When you're staring at your life
The paper's painted a shade you sanded, the shadow of your mind
Tragic were the times
When they never knew you cried
The rainy window you watched alone was washed with others' woes
And it shows

Take a rake, sweep from the lake
All the rust and the pain in a pile
Walk a mile away from the track
Til the backwaters turn black

One last time
To the darkwoods we will fly
Silent thoroughfare, escape from this nightmare
Once upon a time, five souls decided
All the scars and broken hearts
Shall smolder by the shower of the stars

You're lost beneath the northern lights
Beside the frozen streams
No more sleepless nights from their shallow screams

A star is born beneath the skies
Blinds the eyes of narrow minds
Signs a ride in a body bag
And bids farewell this troubled land

Walk a mile away from the light
Cause the stars won't come back tonight

One last time
To the darkwoods we will fly
Silent thoroughfare, escape from this nightmare
Once upon a time, five souls decided
All the scars and broken hearts
Shall smolder by the shower of the stars

One last time
To the darkwoods we will fly
Silent thoroughfare, escape from this nightmare
Once upon a time, five souls decided
All the scars and broken hearts
Shall smolder by the shower of the stars
