themes: loyalty, betrayal, loss

who will be there when morning comes

when the shadows you hide in have lifted

if the jury cried for an innocent man's guilt

who would walk to the gallows with you

when there's nothing left for the crowd to see

even here as we stand with lingering hands

who is going to reach out and touch you

when all you know is a world that fades away

will you stand alone as they strip you down

who would run through the flames with you

when cowards leave you to a silenced burn

i was always the one ready to give it all
