Lyrics

when the evening comes and the shadows start to fall

when there's no one left but you and your back's against the wall

the little voice inside refuses to be still

you waken from a dream and your skin begins to chill

when the evening comes

when the morning comes and you're blinded by the light

you can try to push away the demons of the night

but the mirror shows you more than you can hide

now you're pushing down the ghosts you've kept inside

there's a voice inside your head you can listen if you dare

or does it burn your fragile senses 'till you're numb and unaware

will you hide your head in the sand or will you stand up in the sun

when the answers come like a thief in the night will you see how fast you can run?

when the answers come

when the evening comes and the truth is closing in

when you know that giving up is the only way to win

you'll be strong enough to choose your sacred path

and you'll be ready to survive the aftermath

when the evening comes
