The light fades away,
The sun steps down, the end of another day.
Tomorrow seems so far away.
When I spend so much time
In the night's embrace.
Was I born to be this afraid?
In the night when all my fears are realized,
I realize that I cannot trust my eyes,
I realign what my thoughts tend to visualize.

But it’s too vulgar to say.
I wish that I could find myself some solitude so I could just
Hide it all away.
And bury it deep so it stays.
So I never drift as far again,
I know I’ve done some things
That will need to be forgiven or pardoned,
In the light I can push them away,
But in the night they always tend to wander in again,

It’s hard when there’s no one there to see you straying,
Noone there to stop your mind from leading you astray,
And my vision’s getting blurry as the light is being stranded,
I hope you know this isn’t how I would’ve planned it out.
‘Cause when I cannot see,
It’s hard to tell who I’m supposed to be.
And when I’m blinded by fear,
It’s safe to say that I’m not safe to stay
Behind the steering wheel.

And I’d say I have the right to this,
‘Cause it’s my life, so I’d say that I should fight for it.
And I’ll put forward what my mind permits.
Twisted metal and broken fists.
And I’ll fight while I can still see
Dear night, this is not the night you will conquer me,
Cause I won’t go down that easily.

(You can’t take me)
Cause I won’t go down that easily.
(You can’t take me)
Cause I won’t go down that easily.

You say you are,
All I need.
So light my way,
And lead on.
You say you’ll stay,
Though I am weak,
So light my way,
And lead on.

But I just can’t commit to it.
I mean, is it insane for you to give your life
For those who cursed your name?
Maybe.

Conflicted convictions,
I am lost to my fictions,
Blurry visions,
These small cuts to my mind
Are turning into deep incisions.
Poor decisions, when I was younger
And I didn’t have to face these sleeping demons,
All of my thoughts were in agreement,
Full of meaning.
What a feeling.

But now, I’m lost without a light,
I need your help to last the night.
I used to have one, I swear I did,
It used to burn so bold and bright.
But slowly it got ripped apart
And faded to the blackness,
With my heart,
See that’s where it all fell apart.

So here I’ll stand broken, battered,
All of my dreams in tatters,
Running far away from all that matters.
Will you chase me?
The dark is knocking at my door,
These demons scream until I’m torn,
My sin is heavy,
But these are the things you felt
Worth dying for.

And I don’t even have a right to it,
But it’s my life so I’d say that
I should fight for it.
And I’ll put forward what my mind permits.
Through all its twisted brokenness.
And I’ll fight while I can still see
Dear night, this is not the night you will conquer me,
‘Cause I won’t go down that easily.

(You can’t take me)
Cause I won’t go down that easily.
(You can’t take me)
Cause I won’t go down that easily.

You say you are,
All I need.
So light my way,
And lead on.
You say you’ll stay,
Though I am weak,
So light my way,
And lead on.

(Lead on)
(Lead on)

(Lead on)
(Night fades,
You light every dark way,
Shining till the sun breaks,
Into every new day)

(Lead on)
(You make every night fade,
You light every dark way,
Shining till the sun breaks,
Into every new day)
(You make the night it fade away,
You light every dark shadowed way)

(You make every night fade,
You light every dark way,
Shining till the sun breaks,
Into every new day
You make every - )
(You make the night it fade away,
You light every dark shadow - )

You say you are,
All I need.
So light my way,
And lead.
