lyrics

How do we find the ever-hidden light
Forsaken to the dark, searching for the stars

Chaos, chaos!

Darkness lurks on the path
Hidden from sight and all reason
Control your mind! Control, and power, divine!
It's winning. It's losing the shine. You're losing, the shine...

Now, we run away into the forest of insanity
Finding, some solace from the light of day

"Oh my god. It's here... The darkness... It shines so bright.
Shines so bright..."

Reaching out, touching this
Light so cold, yet warms within...
...my soul...
...may some day be found
Reaching for these stars...
They glow so bright, oh how I love this night.

Oh yes now it's here
These points they shine so bright
I shine so bright!

Reach out, touching those
Who feel so cold
A word may warm within their soul
May some light be found gazing at...
...these two stars...
...they glow so bright...
reveal the love within their light.
