How did it come to this sorry state?
And what is to come?
Should I resign and embrace my fate,
Like ev'ryone?
How can I deal with the wars of late?
And all the smoking guns?
How did it come to this sorry state?
Thy will be done.
And the only way outta here,
Is through the shadow of greatest fear.
So light a candle and keep it near,
The day is done and the night's unclear.
And the only way outta here,
Is through the shadow of greatest fear.
So light a candle and keep it near,
The day is done and the night's not clear.
Is there something new to create,
Under the sun?
Or just more copies to replicate,
But no original one?
How did it come to this sorry state?
Look how far I've come...
It gives me pause now, just to contemplate,
The things I left undone.
And the only way outta here,
Is through the shadow of greatest fear.
So light a candle and keep it near,
The day is done and the night's unclear.
And the only way outta here,
Is through the shadow of greatest fear.
So light a candle and keep it near,
The day is done and the night's not clear.
