The light always fades and goes
The darkness comes to chase it away
Bringing the shadows, my old foes
I'm just hoping to last another day

This night has no stars, no moon
This night lasts longer than it should
This night wreaks havoc like a typhoon
This night is often misunderstood

What brought on this eternal eclipse?
Can no one else see its shadow?
I'm the only one in this apocalypse
But sometimes it's peaceful, being alone

When the stars fall
The sky shatters
Monsters raze all
None of it matters

Plummeting down
With chains bound
And a broken crown
Lost but not found

An angel burns
But no one learns
The tide turns
The cosmos churns

We stay the same
Igniting with flames

The world doesn't care
If a once whole, lonely soul
Without joy or cheer
Begins to tear

But there's still light
Its just out of sight
Your future is bright
Continue to fight

We see you agonize
But life is your prize
The sun will soon rise
You'll fly through the skies

Onto parallel lines, onto ivory sheets
Letters. Words. They pour out of my soul
A torrent of scribbles, words flying with each heartbeat
Bleeding out as if they could patch my holes

There's too much I have to say
Not enough time, not enough room
Messy scrawls, white against gray
My mind and self, the madness consumes

Never hesitate at the blood, the death, the war
Just keep on going, keep on cutting them down
Strike with your fury, scream your battle roar
Fight for your life, for your love, for your crown

Forget about the fall, your fears, the height
Stand up, face up, look the sky in the eye
Do you see it, the sun, its beckoning light?
Go ahead, spread your wings, take off and fly

Don't fear the heat, the sparks, the flames.
Strike the match, light the pyre, watch it dance ever higher
Let it burn, let them all fear our names
We're children of the stars, we'll set the world afire
