When Reason Fades To Dust

Liner Notes
Big thanks to @acousticmaddie for the words. Just as I started recording, I noticed that @jamkar had already done a version (https://fawm.org/songs/322055). I hope it is OK that I pressed on, as my version is quite different from @jamkar fine one.
However, the sentiment remains the same thanks to those words that inspired us both.
Lyrics
verse Yet lonely it grows among whispering sheep And as evening fall the dread settles weep It weighs on the heart, As dark shadows In a world where the truth runs shallow.
chorus We listen and none dare questioning why, Hands stay clean as the line moves on, Just following words, just staying in time, While silence signs how fear begun.
verse Stretch long across the mind, where hope trembles and fall We listen in silence, where darkness rise tall When fear takes hold, its grip holds fast Hearts beats to the sound of boots from the past
chorus We listen and none dare questioning why, Hands stay clean as the line moves on, Just following words, just staying in time, While silence signs how fear begun.
Verse As crowds rise to cheer at words they barely hear, Eyes glance away, pretending nothing’s near, Flags held high as reason fades to dust, While old mistakes return in quiet trust.
You got a bit of Maddie dark in there Andy! Nice music - very full sound. The lyric is so Maddie i can actually hear her! cool collab !
