Your bright shining face/ casts shadows over/ the hollow plain
raise the mirror/ the reflection/ is hollow and plain
flecked with the blood/ of all those/ you cast out
Cold and harsh/ this world is/ draining life (killing blood and sweat)
Trade everything/ for nothing/ raise your eyes (to the hollow sun)
The battle is here/ your's to fight/ still you ran away
But there is no shame in/ betraying memories/ so stay right here
the seas ran dry/ the earth cracked/ to bleed itself out
Cold and harsh/ this world is/ draining life (killing blood and sweat)
Trade everything/ for nothing/ raise your eyes (to the hollow sun)
