There's a strange yellow glow in the sky tonight
I'm sitting here, waiting for the light
and 3am has never felt so strange
I want so much just to be with you
I don't know what I have to do
To find the road, the road that leads to everything I need
And then dawn brings some respite
The chorus of the growing light
And 3am thoughts fade into another burning day

There's no highway in this broken land
No footpaths, no tracks across the sand
And no mad snake man there to help me on my way
But I can see a distant peak
And it could take a year or just a week
To find the road, the way I have to go
There is no fate but what we make
And we must choose the road we take
But I would rather die then take you to place where there's no sun

I'm going to have to blow this town away one stormy day
Turn around and break these chains that make up the mundane
There are no maps to guide me, there's nothing here to hide me
From my fate... it's already too late

It's the edge of another day at last
A seed was planted and then it grew so fast
Into to a tree that hides the sky
But shade can be a refuge too
Protect us from this burning ring of fire
And hide us from a thousand prying eyes
In the end we must decide
Whether to run or stay or hide
To take the hard road or just simply fade into the desperate day

Gonna to have to blow this town away one stormy day
Turn around and break these chains that make up the mundane
There are no maps to guide us, there's nothing here to hide us
From our fate... it's already too late
