From the Embers

I’d been blinded by the light for so damn long - for so long That it took losing everything to see I’d been wrong all along I knew I had change somehow but didn’t know here to start But a part of me died that day and said hello to the dark And then it hit me I’d rather rule the dark than serve in the light (it hit me it hit me) Tell me how this is wrong when it feels so right (it hit me it hit me) I lost the fight but won the war and in my heart a hole was torn forever I thought that I’d lay down and die, but just then I began to fly from embers From the embers I fly I lost the fight but won the war and in my heart a hole was torn, forever I thought that I’d lay down and die, but just then I began to fly from embers From the embers I fly Fly away, fly away Fly away, fly away When you light a candle, watch the flames get brighter But the shadows all around grow darker (oh oh) grow darker (oh oh) All the faces, flashing, changing Everything is now mine for the taking (oh oh) for breaking (oh oh) And how I could I not see my reflection was slowly changing, was waking I spent my whole life fighting all this darkness in my heart from overtaking But then it hit me I’d rather rule the dark than serve in the light (it hit me it hit me) Tell me how this is wrong when it feels so right (it hit me it hit me) I lost the fight but won the war and in my heart a hole was torn forever I thought that I’d lay down and die, but just then I began to fly from embers From the embers I fly Fly away, fly away Fly away, fly away
