Open your eyes As the darkness threatens to engulf you Serrated shafts of light give lie to painless hope Remains of ancient joy, just ashes in this void No more pride to break Resigned to the will of fate Take hold and dare to hope again I’m stretching out my fingers I’ve heard the endless cries pleading for salvation You’ve got to realise I can’t stop the pain inside You’re desiccating needlessly Constrained by chains that I can’t see And now this darkness lingers on Reach and take your salvation, don’t let this recourse abate Withstand these needles of light and shame Emerge from the shade Take hold and dare to hope again Take hold, drain this abscess of fear within Wildly grasping for this last retracting line One chance to save myself, and to reclaim my life Vision recedes in needles of light Don’t leave me here screaming for death I’ve found the will to put up a fight I break this surface and draw my breath Reach and take your salvation, don’t let this recourse abate Withstand these needles of light and shame Emerge from the shade
