Trudging through my darkest nights,
All hope gone in search of light.
Endless footsteps, echoed cries,
Lost in wonders made of lies.

Through the clouds of endless tears,
I see tomorrow growing near.
Reaching fingers to the sky,
Above the haze I wish to fly.

A distant star guides me ahead,
and though I follow I'm filled with dread.
Soon enough the light burns out,
and once again I'm lost in doubt.

On I venture on my knees,
The sun ignoring all my pleas,
Wishing for one ray of light,
To help me in this pointless fight.

I stumble on to my defeat,
Waiting for that last heart beat,
Through the craze of my own sorrow,
I hear a voice I dare not follow,

Looking for the source of sound,
a shadow is all that can be found.
Yet in that moment I can see,
the truth I had but couldn't read.

Only by the darkest shadow,
Could I see the truth I battled.
This whole world was made of lies,
The clouds were truly in my eyes,

From my broken mind I wandered,
To the light of a world unpondered.
There he stood now shining bright,
The darkest shadow in my plight.

On my feet now I stroll,
I listen to his laughter toll.
On my face a smile spreads,
Burning life into the dead.

This world is often cold and hollow,
still my soul is filled with shadows.
But I can see the light of day,
Because I learned to fly away.
