Vanessa Daou
Red Dawn
Now I'm travelling with the shadows
At the speed of light
Back along the arrow of time
Trembling at the rising of the red dawn

High over winding roads and empty streets
And lonely houses filled with soldiers and debutantes
With lovers and losers
Teachers and hoarders
Players and cheaters
Healers and doubters, heroes and hustlers

And in everything I see chaos
And in everything order
I can decipher the waste and the shame
The giving, the dying
And my place in the scheme
As clear, as pure as the cold midnight air
