about

One of the quickest tracks to have been written on this collection (2 hours from idea to arranged and lyriced demo) and possibly that I have ever written. The spontaneous feel was something I wanted to keep and so you have this mad rush of a track which builds peaks and falls away. A call to arms for a lost soul.

lyrics

You’ll never catch the sun
Hiding in the Fog
You’ll never see what’s won
By counting up the cost;
For all you think you fight in vain
I’ll tell you the war is won.

You claim it’s all on you
You take the blame too much,
You don’t see what you what you do
To everything you touch;
You claim it’s from gold to rust
I tell you it’s not the war you’ve won.

Turning circles in a concrete square;
Building a mountain from solid air;
Giving it all and never taking back;
Covering your head from invisible flack;
Bracing yourself to take it on the chin;
Too lost in the dark to let the light on in;
To show the love that shines on you.

So stand up in the sun,
Stop hiding in the fog,
See the road run,
You’ll never end up lost.
And though you think you fight in vain,
I’ll tell you the war is won.
