Another minute, another hour
Time passes without a thought
It drains our strength and power
Unaware of the ruin it's wrought

It's falling grain by grain
Our sand slowly drops away
Don't dwell on regret or pain
Seize the **** out of this day

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 all alone in this apocalypse
The casualties of joy overflow

It seems the sun will never rise
It seems the light has been destroyed
It seems hope and joy always flies
It seems like life is an empty void

Humanity craves a certain fire
Not for heat and light, but for company
To raise you when you fall, rally you when you tire
To brave life when it darkens so suddenly

A fire that can change, build, and create
New worlds, new stories, new lives
But flames burn and scath and raze and hate
They **** good sense, blind mankind, and wound like knives

A fire that can mend a heart, break a heart, steal a heart
When burning bright, souls are joyous
When smothered, souls are torn apart
With no fires burning, it is what destroys us

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

A glass wall surround me
Blocking out foes, friends and family
I know I'm all alone, I know I'm not free
But this is the only way I can be

Its fragile, made of harsh words and cold
To push everyone away from my disastrous world
Even when I wish to be in your soft hold
To keep them away, my happiness I've sold

I'm so lonely, I'm in so much mental pain
But they say, with no pain, there's no gain
So I'll endure the brutal, unending rain
Waiting for the sun, even when I'm no longer sane

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
