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
