about

This is a song about waking up, having to face another day when all you really want to do is not have to face another day. When all you really want is to be free.

lyrics

Merciless Sun rises again
Another night has ended
Merciless sleep from me has fled
My position left undefended
And I wonder how I will cope
With this 'devoidance' of hope

When sunlight reveals the lines on my face
Sunlight reveals the toll
Sunlight reveals the pain and disgrace
And all that time has stolen

Merciless heat upon me again
My weary soul is aching
It burns my mind and unfitting skin
And my sanity's cracked and breaking
And I wonder just how long
I'll still be able to sing my song

When sunlight reveals the lines on my face
Sunlight reveals the toll
Sunlight reveals the pain and disgrace
And all that time has stolen

Merciless sun burning
While the world is turning
And my heart is yearning
To be...
Free
