lyrics

She’s in the shadow of night
And the sound of the whistle in the trees is the fire in her eyes.
Her hero is calling,
But she dare not speak for the fear of an error in her voice.
She hears footsteps creaking,
And the finger on the trigger of her life squeezes, squeezes,
squeezes tight.
She closes her eyes,
She knows she’ll be safe when it comes to the hour of light.
Hour of light.

Her flesh is creeping,
The ring on her finger strangles blood rushing quickly in her heart.
Laying in the kitchen,
She takes a knife from the drawer that she’s chained to
for the rest of her life
Her hero is calling
And he opens the door to the room he’s only seen on TV.
Then she opens her eyes –
She knows she’ll be safe when it comes to the hour of light.
Hour of light.
Hour of light.
Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
