The Way

In the dark I follow the light

Sparkling in the window 
Like a star in midnight sky
I follow this path through the cold
To come back home
Twisted tongues of flame
I join to burn
Dark dead waves 
I enter to drown
Midnight sky so blue
I walk to find the way…
The way to touch the stars
To break out of this prison cell
My soul wants to fly free, just to escape
A shadow upon a forest is calling
In whisper lies now my name
Every night they are calling, the wind is howling
Making me feed that dark serpent
That cursed feel of guilt
The way to escape lies so close
But the rest in lies is closer
Everything is but a darkest symphony 
And I’m that evil blackhearted composer
Make me feel, make me forget
The shame, the blame, my every scar
Every single verse tearing my heart
Making me weak, making me regret
This life is not for me
All I ever wished to be
All I need is to be free
Twisted tongues of flame
I join to burn
Dark dead waves 
I enter to drown
Midnight sky so blue
I walk to find the way…
The way to escape
To leave all the pain
And dream far away
Above the hills, across the sea
