Another version of a song that was roughly recorded for 'Liminality' but deserved a better version. It might become a live classic in the future.
lyrics
Let me breathe, oh let me breathe, there's darkness and there's pain
there's trolls that bully me, much stronger than I am
let me go, please let me go, this darkness is too strong
there's vampires sucking my energy, and I don't have the strength to fight
ooh, it's so easy to let go
ooh, it's so easy to forget the light
when I see only darkness, and trolls stand tall before me
but the light is stronger, and it will certainly win in the end
giving in the dark side would be giving in to losing side
the light will come, the shadows will fade, the trolls will turn to stone
the light will come, the dark will go, the vampires will crumble to dust
This is a season of cold despair, there's darkness and there's pain
the bullies seem in power now, they crush the world and even their own soul
I cannot walk, I cannot go, there's shackles on my arms and leags
they Powers are strong where they are now, and I don't have the strength to fight
ooh, it would be stupid to let go
ooh, it's so dangerous to forget the light
I see the darkness but the light is more real
it's so much stronger and it will certainly win in the end
joining the dark side would be joining the losing side
the light will come, the shadows will fade, the trolls will turn to stone
the light will come, the dark will go, the vampires will crumble to dust
The light will come, the night will end, the dragons will meet their slayer
The light will come
Oohh…
the light will come, the shadows will fade, the trolls will turn to stone
the light will come, the dark will go, the vampires will crumble to dust
The light will come, the night will end, the dragons will meet their slayer
The light will come, and evil will be no more
