lyrics

I saw the night at the garden of graves; a blazing light captured like a slave. Dwelling in souls now; in death it will stay. This very light never saw the day.

It keeps the dreams, keeps the plans that each made, all the potential that never found a way. So many things taken into the grave, never fulfilled, now forever in decay.

How came this light to a cemetery place?
Was it indolence that its time became a waste? For many souls, they have noticed too late. It's hunting me every night and day.

In my dreams I see the price that they've paid; never alive, never breaking this blockade. During the night these souls have gone astray, shaking my bones with a cry of their dismay

The light is fading as I'm closing my eyes.
My box is lowered as a lament fills the sky.
The crowd has gathered to say their last goodbyes,
but I awaken with a sound of surprise

Take me on this adventure,
make me fearless and strong.
Don't let me bury this treasure,
place me where I belong.
