about

Claude finds a stream of blood that stretches to the distance in front of him. he follows the trail of blood to its host. A young girl that looks oddly familiar. She is dying. She must have found shelter under something weaker than the Vagabond compound. The fact that she is alive, mysterious as it may be, brings happiness to Roswell. The happiness fades to sadness when she dies. The sun casts a shadow on her lifeless body and Claude falls into a maddening hallucination.

lyrics

Raining down napalm and crashing down walls,
Solace found in the silence between the bombs.
Harboring none but himself, He remains ever calm.

The faceless man walks alone in the new world.
Foot by foot, his existence remains an afterthought.
The sun beats the Earth and the wind must blow.
If he were to smile, no one was to know.

His path weaves through the war-torn fields
Death and decay displayed under the sunny sky
Shaped in the blood, her body did lie
Gasping for air, begging not to die.

The faceless man walks alone in the new world.
Foot by foot, his existence remains an afterthought.
The sun beats the Earth and the wind must blow.
If he were to smile, no one was to know.

The faceless man walks again with her soul.
Foot by foot, his existence remains an afterthought.
The sun casts a thin shadow to the east
If he were to smile, only she was to know.
