The gleam and the flicker, have me obsessed,
but the gloom is pulling me back.
Floating in oblivion, free from corruption,
The glare is sneaking into destruction.
Close your eyes, and look for the light.
Like a firefly at night.
The darkness breathes, the vital signs,
are weakening.
Like a crow, preying on rotten bones,
the dark manipulates the mind.
Close your eyes, and look for the light.
Like a firefly at night.
The darkness breathes, the vital signs,
are weakening.
Cease to exist.
Close your eyes, and look for the light.
Like a firefly at night.
The darkness breathes, the vital signs,
are weakening.
A light in the dark, a beginning, a spark.
Feel the uprising start.
A whisper, a sign, it's taking my mind.
Close your eyes, and sink in time.
The gleam and the flicker, have me obsessed,
but the gloom is pulling me back.
Floating in oblivion, free from corruption,
The glare is sneaking into destruction.
Light take me.
