And when the fires of fear and hate Slaughter your hope and burn your faith As your concentration begins to lapse You find your life due to collapse The ashes that fell, now layer your mind Sinister darkness not far behind Your rabbit hunt over, no prize to win You see yourself being consumed by sin The wounds that were given Were every single thing that you wanted That’s why you were driven To feel something was necessitated A large open field, covered in flames No one is searching, no one screaming your name You were left alone without a single friend The world didn’t even say goodbye when life came to an end Fall to the ground, the battle is lost No more spare change, no final cost On your knees as the evil attacks The fire burning red as your mind goes black But, what legacy was left behind? Which finishing touches that helped mankind? The hands that didn’t make a stand Are now covering the face that never shined Darkness closing in as your world is erupting Your eyes slowly open, just waiting for something Now where’s the hero who you needed so badly? The one you thought would stop at nothing You wanted a leader who never came through It’s all done, your hopes and dreams won’t come true Fire burns through the field as the temperature rises But you always forget this; THE HERO IS YOU. You feel your legs moving as you get onto your feet And suddenly you don’t much care for the heat The flames turn to water as you slowly smile Dying is the easy way, and that’s not your style The cold clear liquid of pure, hopeful trust Causes every demon to turn into dust You don’t feel that pain; it was never there Submerged in the water you burst out for air
The sun, once again is dazzling and new You are the leader you knew could come though Your fears have drowned, and your hate is dead Now nothing like that can break into your head
As you drift towards land, you now make a vow That everything is possible, some way and somehow. Never let the darkness cover up light Though with every sunny day comes a chilling night
So when the fires of fear and hate Slaughter your hope and burn your faith The overwhelming light that is inside of you Will drown out the darkness, and you’ll start anew
I know this is long, but if you're going through something difficult - read it.
