At Dawn

At Dawn in the first track off 2001 album At Dawn.

 Lyrics from CD booklet
At dawn they ride again
They'll haul you out to the streets
They'll burn your papers and your empty trash cans
Beat this thought into your head
Saying over and over again:
"All your life is obscene...
Forget the papers, forget your musical dreams"
But that's when my knife rises
Their life ends and my life starts again


Length of album version: 3:49

In addition to the lyrics the following is written in the CD booklet:
Remember this when hope's unclear: it's the hard way up that feels the best.
We start this time with open ears...
