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

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

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

Why do we seek the truth?
It hurts more than its heals
Lies are soothing, beautiful
The false world is brighter than the real

Darkness blinds, but so does light
Why don't we fear the sun?
Life is pain, death is peace
No one sees the lonely ones

Better to live in false comfort
Than be tortured by reality
"It'll go away if we ignore it
And go back home happily"

Pain breaks through like the dawn
Our world is fill with sorrow
Suffering, and hopelessness
Each day is the same as the tomorrow

Like ice, my feelings are numb
Deadened to all of life
Like ice, my heart is frozen
Frozen by anger and strife

Like ice, my soul shatters
I didn't need it anyway
Like ice, my thoughts cut and hurt
I bleed out silently every day

We are all lonely beings
Lonely souls, a lonely mind
Eternally seeking and searching
For things we can never find

A memory of smiles and laughter
Washed away by the flood of sorrow
And the sense of immortal solitude
There was never a cheery tomorrow

We're all going to fade away
There'll be no one left to mourn us
Our bodies, our lives, our legacies
Will disappear into wind and dust

Yet we still bother to create
To sing, paint, dance and twirl
To turn our cobwebs into gold
All in hopes of a better world

My victories are none
In this looking glass of mine
Only these faults remain
To drown me in their endless eyes

We all have scars
We're all broken here
Our hearts are burnt and charred
Torn by ceaseless wind and wear

We are shattered stars
Darkened by the years
Caged within glass jars
And left to drown in despair

Sunsets are breathtaking
They paint the sky
With pretty flames
Its a beautiful sight

But behind you,
Is the world's shadow
Dark, dull, a sooty blue
The part that goes unnoticed

The night sky is calm and silent
It doesn't matter what you say or do
The stars and moon listen as you rant
They don't care, they'll shine for you

Everyone sleeps, except for me
The air is cool, peaceful and dark
Peace, calm, tranquility
Each star, a tiny soul, a spark

Constellations glowing up above
All in the deep black sky
What's not to love?
One day I'll touch it and fly

I look at the sun
And ask for his light
He stares on, silent
And then my eyes hurt
And then I look away
And I still don't know
What I am to do

The rain falls on me
She asks who I am
And why I lie here
But I cannot say
And I cannot move
So she can do naught
But drench me anew

After your spirit's flown, I'm on my knees
A cage of bones hides your still heartbeat
And by an empty throne, for centuries
I'll be dancing alone, to our memories

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
