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 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 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, within, gathering, yielding, never
