I have been chasing for something all my life
With no retreats and no regrets
I have felt the reaper breathing down my neck
And now I run
There ain`t no sun in nightmares
I see the wolves are coming
I have avoided them all my life
Now the sun is rising
Am I going to die?
If I keep running will I stay alive?
If I keep chasing will I find what I am looking for?
I feel a fugitive in my own home
There ain`t no sun in nightmares
So why do I burn?
If the reaper is going to catch me I wish he would
Because the sun is rising
And there ain`t no sun in nightmares
