Fades To Light

I walk the path of shadows, evil and corrupt
Deep in thought I am imprisoned here
With gaps of light not big enough to escape though
Just like me they are surrounded by darkness
No one to love, no one to hold, as I walk the path of shadows
Cold and dark now filled with rage
It's time to fight, get up and run
Fists of rage turning me to dust
The only way out was to embrace the light
I lit the candle and ran for help
No more fire, no more hate, now that my shadow fades to light
I got burned and hid in the dark
Crying my tears swept past my cheek
But you showed me your heart and gave me warmth
Now our flames burn together as my shadow fades...
Fades to light.
