Description I can remember being a fragile child
And facing darkness, drowning deep in fear
Thus wondering why I lay alone and trialed
When never did a hint of help draw near


But seasons changed like a night to day;
Different seeming worlds that were the same
And now, daily I wonder all the way
Why it’s another single-person game


So, can you give some meaning to pain
That burns the ones in need of hope the worst?
Embrace demons that dwell inside your brain
You try to save the earth to hide your curse


And all along just trying hard to fight
Still fighting all alone in harrowing nights
What if you somehow could do something right?
By clinging tight to chances to be the light?


When all your blood will begin running cold
And then you can behold the faintest glow
Entering darkness, acting like you’re bold
You will still fight to be the lone hero


Even within the deepest dark you start
With but a single bullet left to fire
You will still hold your soul and hold your heart
Remember that eternity lasts forever
