|
Emerging into the light |
|
A thousand empty pages |
|
Left to me to write |
|
And I won't subjugate my dreams to mortality |
|
I won't live every day I have as if it is my last |
|
But I'll live each to the full |
|
The poison stops, its work is done |
|
I'm half surprised that I'm still standing |
|
I've returned to the road |
|
That I was on before this happened |
|
Seems so long ago |
|
The pale horse skulks away |
|
Its rider empty-handed |
|
It's not about some act of courage |
|
I only did what I was forced to |
|
My will to live was stronger than |
|
The will to die that I once had |
|
But that I have let go |
|
Never to return |
|
The preciousness of life |
|
The lesson that I've learned |
|
That I've learned, that you've learned |
|
And that we all are learning still |
|
(where is your victory? where is your sting?) |
|
I've looked death in the eye |
|
Turned and walked away |
|
There's nothing left to fear |
|
I have stood in the path of the tornado |
|
Where life goes by in the blink of an eye |
|
And they won't be selling tickets to my funeral, no tickets |
|
I've dreamt them, I've dreamt them, the nightmares from the pit |
|
I have broken the back of the noonday devil |
|
I've crushed the skull of the devil |
|
Let it rain, keep raining now, keep raining now, |
|
Keep raining now, keep raining now |
|
I've have brought my life in focus, I've brought my life in focus |
|
And it's perfect enough for me, it's perfect enough for me, |
|
It's perfect enough me |
|
I will begin again, I will begin again |
|
I'm stronger than death |
|
And the pale horse departs |
