As Light Is Our Darkness
Evergrey · The Dark Discovery [1998]
Among the mourning of souls
A silent whisper
You must walk alone
Even though my tears tells me not to
I must walk alone
I seek shelter
'Cause I am hiding
As light is our darkness
We seek the day
But when the shade of the night comes
It chases my strength away
My steps echoes
In this chapel of fall
And I see my past being
Being left behind
I hope, I beg
Can't someone come
And take my soul
And take my soul
And take my soul
And take my soul
And take
And take my soul
