There is a chill in the air above the land of broken bones
And in the silence the danger that is coming home
The never ending fight
To reach through darkness to the death of the night
And I will get to the light
In the shadow the feeling of the constant, shifting shape
The walls closing and the sense of a life at stake
And then the desperate flight
The flash of lightning and the burning bright
And I will get to the light
I want the pure and the flawless and the shining sight
I want the damned and the worthless and the endless plight
And with the breathless lows and the desperate highs
Between it all I think I’ll find
That I will get to the light
And in the ashes of life another promise coming true
The distant echo of the question that we never knew
We have the future priced
And knowing somehow it will be alright
If I can get to the light
I want the pure and the flawless and the shining sight
I want the damned and the worthless and the endless plight
And with the breathless lows and the desperate highs
Between it all I think I’ll find
That I will get to the light
Give me the pure and the flawless and the shining sight
Give me the damned and the worthless and the endless plight
And with the desperate lows and the breathless highs
Between it all I know I’ll find
That I will get to the light
