The noose swings waiting in the October breeze
The executioner has watched many die with ease
Death can't separate me and you
It can't amount to the things we used to do
The monitor a monotone
Alone and still, the vacant throne
You're not alone
Just watch me fade into the unknown
Chorus:
Call it treason
But people die round and round the seasons
But I'm still alive for now
Fear begone
The sun is rising up to dawn
You're not alone tonight
So for now, the noose hangs bare
Lay down your sword, the chair is empty
Don't stoke the flames, let embers die, you'll burn yourself
Deeper we delve
You're not alone
(Chorus)
You're not alone
You're not alone tonight
(Chorus)
The executioner has watched many die with ease
Death can't separate me and you
It can't amount to the things we used to do
The monitor a monotone
Alone and still, the vacant throne
You're not alone
Just watch me fade into the unknown
Call it treason
But people die round and round the seasons
But I'm still alive for now
Fear begone
The sun is rising up to dawn
You're not alone tonight
Lay down your sword, the chair is empty
Don't stoke the flames, let embers die, you'll burn yourself
Deeper we delve
You're not alone
You're not alone tonight
