Standing in the shadows
looking for the light
the darkness prevails
blinding my eyes
penetrating cold
reaches my bones
a cry escapes from within my soul
CHORUS
Tear me
from the night
bring me
into the light
out of this
desolate place
shine down
onto my face
V2
Crying to the darkness
brings only pain
it's icy fingers
of death and disdain
probe into me
until all I can see
is my mind enveloped by insanity
CHORUS
V3
Running from my despair
all I feel is black
I try to break out
but keep falling back
When I think I see
light reaching me
I cry once more please come set me free
CHORUS
BRIDGE
A single ray
pierces through
when I see it's warmth
all I can do
is collapse into
this puddle of light
as it washes away the night
CHORUS
shine down
onto my face
shine down
onto my face
