Lyrics

A Thousand Shades

[Verse 1]

Sitting in yesterday

Watching it slip away today

Isolation

Fading like photographs

Reminding us nothing ever lasts

Desolation

[Pre-Chorus]

I look up to the sky

But the sun never shines

I'm waiting

[Chorus]

There's a thousand different shades of darkness

Colouring our faith

The past is dead, the future's haunted

What happened to today? Today

[Verse 2]

Promises built to crash

Walking on dreams of broken glass

Hell's creation

Try to find my escape

Somewhere where I can hide away

Desperation

[Pre-Chorus]

I look up to the sky

But the sun never shines

I'm waiting, yeah

[Chorus]

There's a thousand different shades of darkness

Colouring our faith

The past is dead, the future's haunted

What happened to today? Today

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

There's a thousand different shades of darkness

Colouring our faith

The past is dead, the future's haunted

What happened to today? Today

There's a thousand different shades of darkness

Colouring our faith

The past is dead, the future's haunted

What happened to today? Today
