Lyrics of
As Daylight Fades

verse 1 9/8
We took down the scarecrows and co - vered the windows
(12/8)
I noticed your fingers were trem - bling like leaves
You made me a shelter in your clo - set of skeletons
(12/8)
I go through your records and play "Let it Bleed"
verse 2 9/8
Black clouds are moving as you move in - side me
You strip me of pleasures, you hunt and I pray
Repeating your stories, you know that they bore me
Shining a - round me a ha - lo so cold
12/8
Hey, the hero's on the move
Yeah, that's what I wan - na do
(6/8 - 1 measure)
And I'm gonna look down
Hey, hey I'm waiting for you to come down
So we could change places and be hounds of love
(6/8) (12/8)
Leave the ground behind
verse 3 9/8
Black hail is falling and he won't stop calling
(12/8)
You have to go back there to find your way home
I find the house empty, so hol - low yet tempting
(12/8)
You left me a letter that I'll never read
verse 4 9/8
I used to believe him, I used to deceive him
(12/8)
My treasure was pride and so ea - sy to steal
And that's what they came for, that's what they aim for
(12/8)
The storm is all o - ver and I'm all alone
12/8
Hey, the hero's on the move
Yeah, that's what I wan - na do
(6/8 - 1 measure)
And I'm gonna look down
Hey, hey I'm waiting for you to come down
So we could change places and be hounds of love
(6/8) (12/8)
Leave the ground behind
INTERLUDE 1
12/8
BRIDGE
We are, we are the last of our kind
We are, we are the road that you mined
Stepped into a light, jumped into a lake
Deeper than the grave I faked
You know you'll never learn so watch me while I burn
INTERLUDE 2
OUTRO
I opened the windows to feel how the wind blows
Sure there's a new scent of spring in the air
And baby, it's funny, I know you're still running
I left you be - hind me, now I stand still
