Into the Light

Let me tell you now what’s goin' down
bad blood to blame
'bout the scum taking over this town
the hunger fear and shame
the forest trees were black as night
and tall and spread about
and in our house by the side of the moon
we could hear them shout
To a play of trumps came you and I when eternity was youth
the king and queen were set aside
and branded with the truth
the wind blew through the trees that night
the clouds raced past the moon
and things we said in the heat of the fight
gonna tear our still house down
You want to run you want to hide
hide away in the sheath of the night
step out now while the sun still shines
step out now into the light
Give me a mask to hide my eyes
a cloak to hide my shame
time will heal these walls conceal
my absence from the game
the forest trees were black as night
and tall and spread about
and in our house by the side of the moon
we began to shout
You want to run you want to hide
hide away in the sheath of the night
step out now while the sun still shines
step out now into the light
