[Verse 1]
In the desert sun, the shadow falls
I feel the weight of all I've known
Eyes that stare but never see
I watch the world unravel me
Detached, I'm drowning in the silence
Cold winds speak the tongue of violence
A stranger to myself, I bleed
In this hollow shell, I cease to be
[Chorus]
I am the witness, I am the crime
Flesh and bone caught out of time
Indifferent to the sun’s embrace
I wеar the mask, I hide the facе
The bullet's truth, the guilty plea
The sentence passed in apathy
I am the stranger to the night
A ghost that burns without a light
[Verse 2]
The sand slips through these broken hands
No meaning left in barren lands
The sun, it blinds, but does not burn
To dust, to ash, I shall return
The world looks on with empty eyes
While I confront the endless sky
A prisoner, a fleeting breath
I walk the line between life and death
[Bridge]
The sea calls, but I can’t hear
The salt of life becomes my fear
I spoke the truth, but what’s it worth?
The weight of meaning drags me to earth
A trial without fire, without flame
I stand condemned, but feel no shame
[Chorus]
I am the witness, I am the crime
Flesh and bone caught out of time
Indifferent to the sun’s embrace
I wear the mask, I hide the face
The bullet’s truth, the guilty plea
The sentence passed in apathy
I am the stranger to the night
A ghost that burns without a light
[Outro]
The void surrounds, I’m sinking in
An endless cycle must begin
With every breath, I disappear
A stranger’s fate is all too clear
I leave no mark, I leave no scar
I am the stranger, never far
