Greywind

Desolate

From Afterthoughts2017

Written by Jason Perry,

Lyrics

Desolate

You are heading for desolate lands ahead Soon you'll live in the heart of them You're breathing in fumes, not sleeping just wandering through smoke that consumes your days and you're lost in it

Where's the sun? I let it chase me It happened and all of the colours, they drowned

I couldn't see

You get caught in the desperate lives you can't save Will you be a part of them?

Where's the sun? I let it chase me It happened and all of the colours, they drowned

I couldn't see

Only you'll be lost here when it's over Only you'll belong here, ever sombre

Lyrics provided by LRCLIB
