lyrics

VERSE 1: so it begins // but I could be wrong // wondering // did it just end? // I’m Here again // and I’m questioning // is the Dark my friend? // I’m trapped in Yin // Eternal Sin // diggin // deep within // I’m battling // battalions // of the Devil’s kin // the Moon’s over head // as we’re marching on // through the Bed of the Dead // and I’m seeing Red // as I clutch my heart // feel the Darkness spread // and how could this be? // is this really me? // such a vile being // and I’m falling // stop struggling // let the Darkness free // CHORUS: I see // nothing // but the Darkness // inside me // but what’s this // I see // within the Void // shining? // VERSE 2: Love // it's really all you need // and I’m // swimming in this Sea of Tranquility // and the // Light // it shines over me // and Everything is really Everything // and I’m // Home // no need to roam // found the Promised Land // no longer alone // and it’s // Rest // did I pass the Test? // what’s this nagging feeling that I’m not done yet? // it’s the // Fight // between the Dark and the Light // it’s not over so I’m diving back in the Night // I’m recharged, resurged, and I’m ready to go // a champion of the Light // so I Illuminate foes // VERSE 1*: so it begins // but I could be wrong // wondering // did it just end?
