Light

Assemblage 23

I stand in a barren void that's featureless

No sight or sound can penetrate at all

Though silent storms may try to tear me down

When dusk descends, I'll still be standing tall



To the ones who want me on my knees

You cannot control my destiny

There is light that flows within my veins

And there is darkness for the ones who bring me pain



Unrelenting, unforgiving hopelessness

Pummeled from all directions for days on end

Can't turn the other cheek, it's far too bruised

Can't play the part of saint, I won't pretend



To the ones who want me on my knees

You cannot control my destiny

There is light that flows within my veins

And there is darkness for the ones who bring me pain



Daylight breaks and shatters empty skies

Has nothing changed for better or for worse?

The cycle just repeats itself again

Can't tell if I am blessed or I am cursed



To the ones who want me on my knees

You cannot control my destiny

There is light that flows throughout my veins

And there is darkness for the ones who bring me pain
