Dawn Of Solace

Call me when the fire
From the preacher's burning
Guilt's in your eyes
And you need someone to take the blame
Once more, like you've done before.

So when you need a scape goat
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 save me once more.

So let me take that cross from you
I'll bury it like I always do.

Out of the night and into the light
Where I swear my allegiance
I'll stand by your side
And I will ease your sorrow and greed.

Your burden, I will bare
Your pain, I will share
To you I will surrender.

But in the end
I know I'll have the last laugh
And smile at the dawn of solace
And laugh on the reckoning day.

Once more, the fool's will return
To parade you and mock you
Until they hate you for what you've become
And you call me.

But I am overburdened
And I can take no more
I am what I am, but never before
And no matter what, it'll settle the score.

Deep in the night, I'll hide from the light
Where I swore my allegiance
I'll stand by your side
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain.

No burden to bare
I've suffered my share
Now gone, this feels so tender.

And in the end
I know I'll have the last laugh
And 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! You disparate me, rape me, hate me
'Till there is 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 allegiance
I'll stand by your side
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain.

No burden to bare
I've suffered my share
Now gone, this feels so tender.

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