give me the light
my folded arms across my chest
hold me down
these crippled wings can't fly
i got more than i bargained for

take it all
the burning is more than i can take
clutched in aching hands
i dream of long dead heroes
i have let them down

shrouded in sorrow
i reach out to the shadows
i can feel my dreams are dying
my own purgatory
the faithless live here

all i have is this shroud of defeat
bitter and forever
how i long for new wings
and new intentions
please give me the light
