The light is fading
But I seek no shelter
For a wish was born after sunset

And through the gathering shadows
I shall wander, in search of the light
The promise made so long ago

To find that warmth and the glow
Once seen in the dream of a pure heart
Shall lead my soul through the dark...


It grips my heart


[Chorus:]
I behold the gathering darkness
The beast that slowly stirs

Never yielding, never healing
For a flame within still burns
I know that the shadows will take me

But never break me; for a glimpse of a star
Dying within, free from sin
The last breath still reaching for truth


Shackled in chains of humanity
Shackled in chains of weakness

Shackled in chains of unending hunger
Never torn asunder
But that star once shined through the walls of my heart

I saw the dream that I feared
And the stormwinds blew to be born anew
To die to fight for my life

Fight for my life...

See the countless aeons turn

Bu the flame within still burns

[Chorus]
