lyrics

Dawns Army - Bitter Harvest

Dark and lonely was the night
In light of what I had seen
Had I counted the blessings
And the tatter-torn dreams

Divide and conquer you hold your quest
In the truth you believe
In the hope that you do your best
But the best can be deceived

In the dawns army awakening
As the kings they retreat
For the pawns to ascend to the throne
As the queen they do weep

While the king of patience sleeps
The queen of denial paces
A song runs through her mind
Singing the Rock of Ages

Pray to the Lord for strength
Searching to find a reason
We reap this bitter harvest
May we last one more season

She paces across the floor
After her daily bread
A toast to one more day
The words turn in her head

I will not love again
She whispers through the tears
Unto thine heart be true
Until the end of years

When will thy work be done
We put away the plow
Can the wages of our sins
Be finally forgiven now

Dark and lonely was the night
In light of what I had seen
Had I counted the blessings
And the tatter-torn dreams

When will thy work be done
We put away the plow
Can the wages of our sins
Be finally forgiven now
