Finding the Light

[Intro] [Verse] What could be more certain Than the strength of steel in your hands, The fight for one's survival And your blood soaked in the sands With regrets as countless as the stars that linger in the sky, The prospect of an open wound Hurt less than living a lie [Chorus] He'd dealt out death and deceit Though he's sworn "now, nevermore," He would suffer defeat and would cheat His name he would never restore Those who would seek to control him Would never let him take flight, Before he let that happen again He'd soar and reach for the Light Before he let that happen again He'd soar and reach for the Light [Percussive Break] [Verse 2] Starting anew with nothing But the heavy chains of the past The light was yet so far It wasn't certain he'd last Those dreams he might have harboured Shattered so long ago Even with this shot at freedom This fate, he couldn't know [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] One promise unfilfilled Two chances to make it right Three scars upon his face Nine lives lost that night He was not prepared to pay what it cost, for what he'd obtained, the better life he'd yearned for yet the only one who remained [Percussive Interlude] [Percussive Interlude] [Instrumental Interlude] [Refrain] [Verse 4] Yet time has healed the scars But it's just a turn of a page, When the wind blows up a sandstorm He feels the embers of rage To snuff them out completely will kill that certain spark, That through those sombre years Kept him alive in the dark [Chorus] He'd dealt out death and deceit Though he'd sworn "now, nevermore," He'd suffered defeat, had to lie and cheat His name he could never restore Those who had thought to control him Never wanted him to take flight, Before they could stop that happening He'd rose and reached for the Light [Refrain] [Outro] [End] [Break] [Intro] [Verse 4] Yet time has healed the scars But it's just a turn of a page, When the wind blows up a sandstorm He feels the embers of rage To snuff them out completely will kill that certain spark, That through those sombre years Kept him alive in the dark [Chorus] He'd dealt out death and deceit Though he'd sworn "now, nevermore," He'd suffered defeat, had to lie and cheat His name he could never restore Those who had thought to control him Never wanted him to take flight, Before they could stop that happening He'd rise and reach for the Light [Instrumental Interlude] [Mandolin Solo] [Refrain] [Fade Out] [Fade to Black]
