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
