Track 25: The Coming of the Dawn
I have searched across the years
For a glimpse beyond the tears
Not caring once for those I left behind
Having strayed so far from home
I deserve to stand alone
For while I chased the secrets of the night
I never saw the beauty in the light
The sun that never rose, the dawn that never came
My morning has deserted me
With no one left but me to blame
None are blind as those who will not see
And now the light is here
And everything is clear
But now I feel the coming of the dawn
Has come too late for me
In the theater of my mind
Though the shadows intertwine
It seemed my every step was strong and true
And I acted just for me
On my stage of fantasy
For no one fears the morning's gentle beams
Except the fool who lives inside his dreams
The sun that never rose, the dawn that never came
My morning has deserted me
To bear the darkness of my shame
Reaching for tomorrow I have lost today
And now that all that's grey
Is fading into day
I only pray the coming of the dawn
Has come to light the way
Is this the great discovery I have awaited?
Is this how man is truly created?
The sun that never rose, the dawn that never came
Why do the things we have seem so precious
Only once they've slipped away
Dreams of glory
Have their price to pay
But far beyond the night
Lie promises of light
And maybe with the coming of the dawn
There comes another day
Maybe with the coming of the dawn
There comes another day
