Branches are dying fall from the tree
Leaves are all ground to dust
The wind cuts sharp
To bring a man to his knees
And the darkness of night falls abrupt
And the mind keeps reaching back
But nothing's left there
Just the ghosts of the empty has been
Copperhead still Raven's lone call
It's a long long time to never see you again
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn
There's fire in the foundation
And paper can't uphold the law
The years are water through fingers
Don't clean nothing at all
And the businesses fail to make purchase
And the scars keep advancing each day
And the foundations keep on burning
The serpent has become the prey
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn
