[03:11.28] Stub towers in the distance riders the blasted moor
[03:19.02] Against the horizon
[03:28.53] Fickle promises of treaty fatal harbingers of war futile horisons
[03:45.66] Swirl as one in this flight
[03:52.95] This mad chase this surge across the marshy mud landscape
[04:01.29] Until the meaning is forgotten
[04:08.58] Hood masks the eager face
[04:12.78] Skin stretched and sallow
[04:17.10] Headlong into the chilling night as swift as any arrow
[04:25.71] Feet against the flagstones fingers scrabbling at the lock
[04:32.67] Craving protection
[04:39.15] Sanctuary croaks a voice half strangled by the shock
[04:45.84] Of its rejection
[04:52.50] Shot the bolt in the wall
[04:59.07] Rusted the key now the echoes of all frightfull memory
[05:06.03] Intrude in the silence
[05:10.41] What a crawl against the slope dark loom the gallows
[05:18.60] One touch to the chapel door how swiftly comes the arrow
[06:10.41] Compassion you plead as though they kept it in a box
[06:16.29] That's long since been empty
[06:22.26] I'd like to help you somehow but I'm in the self same spot
[06:27.78] My condition exempts me
[06:33.42] We are all on the run
[06:39.66] On our knees the sundial draws a line upon eternity
[06:46.59] Across every number
[06:53.10] How long the time seems
[06:56.85] How dark the shadow
[07:00.69] How straight the eagle flies how straight towards his arrow
[07:08.85] How long the night is why is this passage so narrow
[07:15.42] How strange my body feels impaled upon the arrow
