lyrics

Alexandra
You are all alone
I see reflected in your eyes a fear that ain't your own
Alexandra
You are all alone
I see reflected in your eyes something that ain't your own

Alexandra
You are on the run
I see reflected in your movement that you don't know what from
Alexandra
You'd better run
It's your life not your dreams that matters
It can't be undone

Alexandra
The day's awakening
You won't survive the next few nights without being taken in
Alexandra
What a sorry sight
The morning's broken but you won't let go without a fight

You remind me
Of somebody I knew
Before they turned the world to ashes like we knew they'd do
Now you're running
From fear that has no name
Through the light of day and the dead of night cause now they're both the same

Footsteps that follow
Getting closer
They'll reach you by tomorrow
No time for sleep
Don't close your eyes
You'll have to be gone by sunrise

Alexandra
They're coming now
They're gaining ground

Alexandra
I leave you now
