Faith In Myth

Apollo! Lead us into the fiery center of the sun As the full moon offers a beacon in the night We march into the blaze and burn as one Or surrounded by darkness, the moon removes plight Apollo! Do not forsake us, we of faith, let light shine Save us from the darkness that plagues the soul Ever devouring the darkness takes us; your inferno burns sublime O' come great light, lest we are left black as coal Do we plead in vain, do you see our suffering? Are we alone, bleeding husks, answering for original sin? Please immerse us in flame, stop black eternal smothering Please illuminate the path, light the way to pursue within The pantheon echoes our greatest fears The Gods reflect our endless doubt Belief of the above foils the darkness that lurks near Or so we believe, we believe we're better with than without The sky above, the dreams within, complete our mortal frame The fears we face, the hope we share, we're all to blame
