Lyrics

[00:00.05]
[00:07.95] Glistening nighttime dew
[00:12.74] and she is walking with me.
[00:14.78] From the house of red
[00:19.55] I hear a child crying.
[00:22.17] Foxes heading home
[00:26.83] their prey hangs from their jaws.
[00:28.98] And the forest knows
[00:33.92] but it won’t share the secret.
[00:36.47] When the king takes sides,
[00:41.52] Leaving moral minds
[00:43.28] soldiers take their share.
[00:48.91] Night
[00:49.46] hawks seem to sense that now is the time.
[00:56.11] Deep inside them burns the raging fire of life.
[01:03.11] He’ll take back what he owns.
[01:05.90]
[01:13.09] Death cannot take hold
[01:17.15] If I can keep momentum.
[01:19.62] Fortresses of stone
[01:24.22] Turn into crystal tears
[01:26.47] Soothed by southern winds
[01:31.39] I’ve found my strength now.
[01:33.64] And nobody knows
[01:38.80] And we must keep their secret.
[01:41.07] When the king takes sides,
[01:46.08] Leaving moral minds
[01:48.45] Soldiers take their share.
[01:53.18] Hawks seem to sense that now is the time.
[02:00.58] Deep inside them burns the raging fire of life.
[02:07.89] He’ll take back what he owns.
[02:10.43]
[02:53.31] When the king takes sides,
[02:58.11] Leaving moral minds
[03:00.11] Soldiers take their share.
[03:05.69] Hawks seem to sense that now is the time.
[03:12.62] Deep inside them burns the raging fire of life.
[03:19.59] He’ll take back what he owns.
