From The Embers

I'd been blinded by the light for so damn long, for so long
That it took losing everything to see I'd been wrong all along
I knew I had to change somehow but didn't know where to start
But a part of me died that day and said hello to the dark

And then it hit me
I'd rather rule the dark than serve the light
(It hit me, i-i-it hit me)
Tell me how this is wrong when it feels so right
(It hit me, i-i-it hit me)

I lost the fight but won the war, and in my heart, a hole was torn forever (ever, ever, ever, ever)
I thought that I'd lay down and die, but just then, I began to fly from embers
From the embers
I fly

I lost the fight but won the war, and in my heart, a hole was torn forever (forever)
I thought that I'd lay down and die, but just then, I began to fly from embers
From the embers
I fly

Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away

Fly, f-f-f-fly
Fly away, fly away
Fly, f-f-f-fly
Fly away, fly away

When you light a candle, watch the flames get brighter
But the shadows all around grow darker (oh, oh)
Grow darker (oh, oh)
All their faces, flashing, changing
Everything is now mine for the taking (oh, oh)
For breaking (oh, oh)

And how could I not see my reflection
Staring back at me was slowly changing (oh, oh), was waking
I spent my whole life fighting
All this darkness in my heart from overtaking
But then it hit me

I'd rather rule the dark than serve the light
(It hit me, i-i-it hit me)
Tell me how this is wrong when it feels so right
(It hit me, i-i-it hit me)

I lost the fight but won the war, and in my heart, a hole was torn forever (forever)
I thought that I'd lay down and die, but just then, I began to fly from embers
From the embers
I fly

Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away (fly away)
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away

Fly, f-f-f-fly
Fly away, fly away
Fly, f-f-f-fly
Fly away, fly away
