Light

Always the same
Day after day
Letting the things that I love
Take their toll on me

You always say
This is the way
There's nothing that I can do but
Embrace this fate

I hear it when you call for me
From beyond a world that's darkening
Will I still carry the fight
Carry my light
When you call
When you call for

I need a change
But I can't escape
Watching the man who I was
Fade away on me

So give me the strength
Show me the way
Take me by the hands and make this
All okay

I hear it when you call for me
From beyond a world that's darkening
Will I still carry the fight
Carry my light
When you call
When you call for

I feel heaven drawing me near
As flames lick at my face
I know i've got to shine bright while I'm here but
Hellish things are whispering my name

Don't want a timely death
My words will live on forever
Thought I could outwit my demons
Turns out those fuckers are clever
I feel it in my chest
Always knew I could do better
Burning bright spirit won't weaken
Just tends to flicker in weather

Whether I want it to
Whether I don't
Although, the latter is probably when I need it most
Will I swallow my evil, my ego, will I choke
I'll double down on myself and my people
Go for broke

I hear it when you call for me
I'll glow until it's time to go
From beyond a world that's darkening
Darkening
Will I still carry the fight
Carry my light
When you call
When you call for me
