Intro:
[verse]
this darkness would eclipse our will
a cold wind blows across these hills
a swinging gaze from a hangman's tree
a crow's nest view of what's left to see
the lifeless forms of saints return the silence to the snow
still beneath the grains waiting for this time to grow
so hold on
hold tight
open daylight
we will overcome
so put away your fear
the morning star will soon appear
and bring an end to this dark night
and we must run if we're to meet the light
[bridge]
watered by the blood of martyrs
blessed and blind as sons and daughters
sleep with one eye open
and live with both eyes shut
so let's find the place where sight begins
and see the things that we saw when our
eyes were bright and wet against the light
and hold on
hold tight
open daylight
we will overcome
open your eyes
o'er the new sight
fly the flags of dawn
