Dawn Of Solace

Call me when the smoke from the bridges burning

Gets in your eyes and you need someone

To take the blame once more

Like you've done before

So when you need a scapegoat

Just place the blame on me

I never asked be anyone's hero

I never asked to carry the torch

I'm here for you to crucify

Waiting for your lies to stain me once more

So let me take that cross from you

I'll bear it like I always do

Out of the night and into the light

Where I swear my allegience

I'll stand by your side and

I will ease your sorrow and grief

Your burden I bear, your pain I will share

To you I will surrender

But in the end I know I'll have the last laugh

I'll smile at the dawn of solace

And laugh on the reckoning day

Once more the fools will return to parade you

And love you until they´ll hate you

For what you've become

And you´ll call me

But I am overburdened

And I can take no more

I am more tired than ever before

And all that I want is to settle to score

Deep in the night, I'll hide from the light

Where I swore my allegience

Won't stand by your side

And I won't ease your sorrow or pain

No burden to bear, I've suffered my share

Now darkness feels so tender

And in the end I know I'll have the last laugh

I'll smile at the dawn of solace

And laugh on the reckoning day

And dream, if only for a moment

For we are of a dying kind.

You used to break me, rape me, hate me

'Til there was nothing left worth saving

My heart is cold and growing colder

Now be a man, just wake me when it's over

Deep in the night, I'll hide from the light

Where I swore my allegience

Won't stand by your side

And I won't ease your sorrow or pain

No burden to bear, I've suffered my share

Now darkness feels so tender

And in the end I know I'll have the last laugh

I'll smile at the dawn of solace

And laugh on the reckoning day

And dream, if only for a moment

For we are of a dying kind.
