Into the Darkness

We Are The Light - Mike Peters

Into the darkness

The void in my soul is enshrouded in blackness.
Harsh world, harsh life, harsh times.
War torn and battered
Crushed and defeated.
Lifes purpose is gone there is no hope,
No strength,
No light.

The grip of darkness tightens on my soul -
Souls breath seeping out in a silent gasp.
Tick, 
Tick,
Tick.....time goes on.... 
When will it stop.

Those black hands, pungent and stinking
Grabbing and pulling me down into the shroud.
Each time I dive in a little further, a little darker....

Worthless and broken
Failing and failed
Dead and deadened

To the lyrics of the song:

People
Light up your light tonight
I wanna see you shine

Fight despair
Don let it get you down
Don let it tie you down

There a man with a wife and three children
Who been told he can work
There a boy who been told there no future
Hes been led by the blind.

And I can hear them crying
As they try to sleep through the night
I can hear them cry
I can hear them cry

WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES

Hold on
To what you believe is right
Don let anyone turn your eyes
Look ahead
Don stop to look behind
The past aint no friend of mine
There a failure who is standing on the corner
For he cannot see hope
There a blind man who is standing at the crossroads
For he cannot see light

And as we fire the candles
We must make sure they burn through the night
For if they should die
There be no light

WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
SHINE

WE ARE THE LIGHT
SHINE ON, SHINE ON SHINE
WE ARE THE LIGHT
