Description
Breaking had so many meanings and variations, I just tried to settle on the theme of separation, of time, of people, of new start and old realities. Hope you enjoy it. Headphones recommended.

Lyrics
Break dawn light
Take your nets and go down to the river
And baptize your ankles there
For whatever good it may do you
to whatever god may hear
Break dawn light
Weary hands take up your hammer
For by the strength of your back
your children won't sleep hungry
And in this light there is a promise
made to each and every soul
the long, cold night lays broken
gasping and withering away
And while she will recover
For now the world is yours
Break dawn light
loving hands pick up your daughter
And see such promise there
If only you will let her
Break dawn light
Shaking hands lay on the coffin
For he had but one life to give
and we all know that it's wasted
And in this light there is a promise
made to each and every soul
the long, cold night lays broken
gasping and withering away
And while she will recover
For now the world is yours
Break Dawn light
A flag is such cold comfort
So tell my son and daughter
This man was just a man
and unlike Gods and heroes
I did not die with gun in hand
but that there is no shame
in forgiveness instead of blame
so remember me at break Dawn light
Take your nets and go down to the river
And baptize your ankles there
For whatever good it may do you
to whatever god may hear
Break dawn light
Weary hands take up your hammer
For by the strength of your back
your children won't sleep hungry
And in this light there is a promise
made to each and every soul
the long, cold night lays broken
gasping and withering away
And while she will recover
For now the world is yours
Break dawn light
loving hands pick up your daughter
And see such promise there
If only you will let her
Break dawn light
Shaking hands lay on the coffin
For he had but one life to give
and we all know that it's wasted
And in this light there is a promise
made to each and every soul
the long, cold night lays broken
gasping and withering away
And while she will recover
For now the world is yours
Break Dawn light
A flag is such cold comfort
So tell my son and daughter
This man was just a man
and unlike Gods and heroes
I did not die with gun in hand
but that there is no shame
in forgiveness instead of blame
so remember me at break Dawn light
