The Battle Between Light and Dark

I saw a light shining down on me Thought it was the end of time. And I just couldn’t let it I turned to face the bringer But he just walked away Maybe now I can live to fight another day. Wax and feathers won’t stand the test of time Falling like a stone only to be shot out again If you can’t stand your captors, then don’t do the crime I can’t walk away this time In silence here I stand alone Climbing the walls is the only thing we can do. Then darkness fell all around the town I heard the sound of heartbeats all at once Screams rang out long into the night Voices rising and falling Now after all, it could all end here Then I heard nothing but the sound of silence. All of a sudden a light began to appear A million eyes all opening at once It was nothing like anything I had seen before But there was hesitation and apprehension It all seemed to land on one man’s decision I want to believe, I want to smile And then the doors open and I see a new Eden.
