down in the dark
All of a tremble You can feel their poison arrows Have left their mark Higher and higher Wanna seize the day While you're waiting for the dark You're running from the disdain You know this time You won't turn around Chasing an illusion, disillusion Desire leading, downward bound Into the black You are tracing the riddle Where no man's been No turning back No more lost in the middle Never again, never again Once you have opened your eyes Down in the dark you'll be crossing the line I'm a believer on the receiving end Of the bat they hold with grace Dead to the voices of the anxious Timid of him who must not be named Enticing me away now as the sun sets To the truth that lies beyond I'm chasing an illusion, an illusion Revelation I'm coming home Into the black You are tracing the riddle Where no man's been No turning back No more lost in the middle Never again, never again Once you have opened your eyes Down in the dark you'll be crossing the line You turn your back on the one Willing to make up his mind No you never stood in my shoes Evil versus divine You're feeling drawn to purity Like a moth to the flame Light at the end of the tunnel Strange how the voice of the savior Roars like a train Into the black You are tracing the riddle Where no man's been No turning back No more lost in the middle Never again, never again Once you have opened your eyes Down in the dark you'll be crossing the line
