I stand here in the shadows

I’ve been here for years

Right before my eyes

A new vision appears

A catalyst for every step

A spark within the mind

Repetition of the final act

Of what lies behind

Awaken as we rise again

Crawling through the black

When nothing bends

It’s not the end

You choose to live in the dark

Flame and fire linger

I steal from the sun

I defy my fate

Reality is undone

What creatures dance before us

What echoes from the walls

Above a light pierces through the veil

A strange gateway beckoning me forth

You choose to live in the dark

Bones of the shackled

Never knew fidelity

A volatile resistance

Exercise hostility

Crushing reality

My eyes are open

But you choose to live in the dark
