Beneath Northern Skies

Trade a sinner for a saint
You kill a man and make a stand together
Till the end
A flash of light the sun is right above the battle
All that’s seen is a red glint on your blade.

Mother dear how can I tell you why
I find a reason to go on
When the emptiness it feels so strong
Some nights I cry and find no courage in my youth
I’m here to serve my sentence
And that’s the only truth.

I’m out of your sight
Not out of your mind
As long as I’m there I’ll be alright
Beneath Northern skies
Braving the snow and the ice
So I say
Let’s live on another day.

I feel like I lie
Every time I stand up straight I try to
Gather my defenses
I pray for second chances
And then I pray for you
My father died so may his son live a long life
I’m here to serve my sentence
And that’s the only truth.

I’m out of your sight
Not out of your mind
As long as I’m there I’ll be alright
Beneath Northern skies
Braving the snow and the ice
(So I say)
Let’s live on to fight again.

If I only could erase my mind of what I’ve done.

Damage done
What I’ve become
I’m sure can’t be undone
I pray I read the lines to become
What I once was
Before all of this
In the snow
I lost my innocence.
