lyrics

Footsteps leading to the east
Embedded in the deep snow
Sharp contrasting lacerations
Draw a lonely shadow

And the only vision in my mind
Is one that’s dark and hollow
One that paints a bloody picture
Fading out to limbo

We’re trapped in ourselves
Why do we fight
When we’re fighting hell
In a cold confusion
It’s alright Because
I understand
What it’s like
There’s no solution

Looking to the east I see
the shadow of a man
With black boots below
And a rifle in his hand

And the only thing behind
Is my own reflection of me
Who I used to be
And the man that I forgot to set free

(Chorus)

Westward winds
Lay an engraving in the stormy shadows
Shot by distance
In a bleak and chill sub city gallows

And a blue-white folk
Imbibed by innuendo
Who invest it all into their
Charismatic hero

(Chorus)
