[Verse 1]
By the break of day, I'll go
Gotta pave the way out of here
The ground is shakin' under my feet, still
Let the juniper tree crumble on the wayside

[Chorus]
'Cause I got daybreak always in the crosshairs
Truth dies out the more that I taste it
Game faces up until the last take
I'll carry on until the light's faded (Faded)

[Post-Chorus]
The light's faded
Faded

[Verse 2]
By the first sight of rain, I'll sleep
Takin' everything to find my peace
The ground is shaken up, enough for me
And the juniper tree blossoms in the sunlight

[Chorus]
'Cause I got daybreak always in the crosshairs
Truth dies out the more that I taste it
Game faces up until the last take
I'll carry on until the light's faded (Faded)
[Outro]
I take it all back
I'm climbin' up the steps
I can't hold on forever
As the juniper tree crumbles on the hillside
