| There is a light at the edge of the sea
|
| That keeps on beckoning me
|
| The glow is not hard to miss
|
| When washed up against the abyss
|
| In the darkness it waits
|
| For man to unseal its gate
|
| Only the eyes are to blame
|
| For what’s read by a candle’s flame
|
| I swear that I’ll take the grey skies in stride
|
| Just please keep the black from my side
|
| Blood of a shadow’s heart
|
| Can never flow in the dark
|
| Close your eyes and you’ll
|
| Always stay here
|
| Nothing to hide from or fear
|
| So bring me the shield, not the sword
|
| But bring me nothing I’ve adored
|
| Just bring me the means to preserve one body
|
| And I will ask for nothing more
|
| Await no fate
|
| Too late, too late
|
| So bring me the shield, not the sword
|
| Bring me a coward’s last reward
|
| Cause if you grant me the power to fight this battle
|
| I will keep begging you for more
|
| We have harnessed the idea in our minds
|
| That the sky beyond the wood must be divine
|
| But wherever we tread our roots shall be planted
|
| And the tress will grow in little time
|
| Stars of the frozen night
|
| Don’t guide my way, don’t aid in my plight
|
| Let me for once adjust my eyes
|
| And let the days roll by
|
| Hide while you can
|
| They will see you
|
| Those with the wounds in their flesh
|
| They’ll say «Hope is worth the mess»
|
| Don’t make a sound
|
| They will hear you
|
| And bring down the fire from above
|
| That cruel flame, they’ll light it
|
| And they’ll call it love
|
| Maybe you’ll find the strength after all
|
| Maybe we’re not destined for the fall
|
| But all I ever saw
|
| Deep in the mirror of your eyes
|
| Was a candle lit just to fight the cold
|
| And a child born to forget the old
|
| But I swore to you I wouldn’t live that way
|
| Let the pieces fall where they may
|
| Light at the edge of the sea
|
| Has taken control of me
|
| I grasp for all that I wish
|
| As it hovers above the abyss
|
| I know now that I’ll never be void
|
| Of desire until I’ve destroyed
|
| Both the compass and the map
|
| So there will be no way to turn back
|
| To places where freedom prevails
|
| Where even darkness can fail
|
| I’ve come to see that I don’t want that choice
|
| Take all I have, take my voice
|
| Sleep at the edge of the earth
|
| Far from the spring of life’s
|
| Rebirth
|
| After the years spent in here
|
| I’m still not in the clear
|
| The realization draws near
|
| That all we will ever know is fear |
