lyrics
A shadow's breeze leaves eternal echoes
Far and silent I can see them all
It's a tired sunrise painted in a foreign shade
It's the voiceless sand where the wisemen crawl
I don't claim to understand the reasons
I don't claim to catch the wind and follow it
I just feel the tides when they decide to turn
I just hear the shore when she submits
And it never was my place to try and save you
Nor play sanctum to a siren left behind
To be slave with promises of no recompense
Besides, I never was the hero kind
Far and silent I can see them all
It's a tired sunrise painted in a foreign shade
It's the voiceless sand where the wisemen crawl
I don't claim to understand the reasons
I don't claim to catch the wind and follow it
I just feel the tides when they decide to turn
I just hear the shore when she submits
And it never was my place to try and save you
Nor play sanctum to a siren left behind
To be slave with promises of no recompense
Besides, I never was the hero kind
