The story begins with a cold night
Lonely streets passing by in quiet sight
And you may hear the spirits whispering
"Where are you going?"

Finding no answer, I cross the line
Finding no right, was there ever one?
And the night keeps on stretching on
Finding myself standing at the same sign

People come and people go
Ever on the road I know
Every twist and turn reminds me of home
And the dark that seeps into the emptiness

Another gone, another lie has been uncovered
Another layer of the mask has been shattered
The further I go, I realise I'm so far away from home
And the ache keeps on aching ever harder

What am I fighting for?
These questions plague me when I feel the dark
And the dreadful tired sneaks into my heart
Show me the light even if it's just a spark...

And when that spark bursts into a thousand stars
I'll know where you are, right here within
Right here where it's always safe and warm
And the dawn is not so far behind the storm

I'm reaching out, breathing out all the sorrow
Letting go of all the pain that held me down
Standing on the shore watching the water dance
Praying to the Light Bringer, "Thank you for this chance!"

A chance to turn it all around
No matter who stays and who goes
Through lost friends, lost family, and found
I will endure this darkness somehow
