From the Darkness»

[Verse 1]
I came from the dark, where nothing was named,
Where silence was all that I ever knew.
I stepped into the light with my hands open wide,
Leaving a mark that would carry me through.

[Pre-Chorus]
But every step I take is a breath of fire,
Every heartbeat is an echo, lonely and true.
I look for an answer, but I never grow tired,
Until I find myself in the spaces between me and you.

[Chorus]
I will return to the dark, but not that which frightens,
It's the one that remembers the life that I led.
I will leave a light, a flicker that brightens,
And deep in that darkness, it will never be dead.

[Verse 2]
I built my own bridges from ashes and pain,
I loved while the fire burned deep in my chest.
I reached for the stars, but I let go of the reins,
When the darkness whispered, "Come, lay down and rest..."

[Bridge — almost inaudible, vulnerable]
And if I don't wake when the morning is breaking,
And if my voice fades into the endless unknown,
I won't disappear — I am only just waking,
In the place where I've always belonged.

[Final Chorus — building, raw]
I will return to the dark, but not that which frightens,
It's the one that remembers the life that I led!
I will leave a light, a flicker that brightens,
And deep in that darkness, it will never be dead!
[Fading]
...I came from the darkness...
From the dark.
