This Light

I look up as I feel a warm smile spread across my face

The sun is bright, the skies are blue

But then the darkness comes, a dark cloud hovering over me

It overtakes everything with its glorious evil

Skies grow darker as each star fades away into oblivion

 

Deep down

In my silent screams

And darkest dreams

This light shines on

This light shines bright

 

I hold a rose in my hand, it ignites my heart with its fiery warmth

But then the darkness returns and blows the fire away

A powerful force of destruction

The rose dies and disintegrates in my hand, only its ashes are left

My heart is crushed into a million little pieces

 

Deep down

In my silent screams

And darkest dreams

This light shines on

This light shines bright

 

I watch the clear blue waves

I soon get lost in their mesmerizing beauty

O’ the horror in my eyes after I witness the darkness pour into the water

Tears begin to pour down like rain as I watch the destruction of something so pure

A wave pulls me into the dark waters and I sink deeper and deeper

 

Deep down

In my silent screams

In my darkest dreams

This light shines on

This light shines bright

 

I stand over a cliff

Wondering about when this misery shall end

It seems unstoppable

Dark clouds have begun to form around me

I feel it coming

 

It soon hits me stronger than ever

All around me there is nothing but darkness

I cannot see what is ahead of me

But through it all, I hold on tight

My fingertips gripping onto the edge

 

I am fighting for my life

Time suddenly stops

Light pours into the sky, flooding everything around me

Like a beautiful masterpiece

A broken masterpiece

 

I survived the darkest of storms

 

I learned that there is beauty behind all the madness

 

And life will never change

 

You must simply adapt

 

 

And as I’ve lost the only piece that held it all in place

I realize that now my madness is the only love I’ll ever let myself embrace

 

Deep down

In my silent screams

In my darkest dreams

This light keeps shining on

This light shines brighter
