lyrics

"A beautiful light
Soft, embracing with peace
Healing tranquility
Ripped away, violently

Mourning in darkness
A bitter chill cracks my skin
Seeping into me
Slowly shutting me down

Deep within a fire burns
A pure unending rage
It builds and radiates
Forcing out the cold

I give in to this hateful flame
Stoke the embers of spite
Even if it consumes me
Anything over the chill of dark

The storm continues to spill
Burning everything around
Nothing but the xanthous dance
Fills my scorched vision

Soon the entire world is enveloped
Reduced to ash by my rage
And again a once bright light
Dies to usher in the dark"
