I have fought the fight,
I have seen the light.
My only desire is to walk out alive.
I have been thrown and dragged across the room,
I have no strength, I accept my doom.
I lost count of the sacrifices made,
In the grave of broken dreams, I have laid.
I look up and see them laughing,
They know how it ends, a life with no meaning.
I start to walk,
away from the fear,
the light in front of me,
all so near.
The painful days had kept me caged,
In the darkness, I have aged
I can feel the sadness growing in me,
Whenever I stretch my wings.
I can see that I will be happy,
but then the darkness sings.
How can I smile,
I wonder.
To the darkness,
I surrender.
Could happiness be found in despair?
I will stay here and see if they care.
"This is your place"
says the voice in me,
But when I look around it's darkness that I see.
How can anyone live here?
How can they survive?
It's been a long time since I took the dive.
Is it fire or man, that destroys the world?
If it's fire, why do I feel so cold?
Who knows the answer, I wonder.
If it's man, will he confess and surrender?
