about

this track is a reminder that in dark times we all have the capabilities to shine even though life is rough at the moment

lyrics

Assumption, that all this fear is useless,
Illusion, the pain, itself a vice
Aggression, I wore it like a badge,
Subversion, an ignorance to squander,
Delusion, was I given a choice
Regression, of everything I had
I fight this war against my apathy, my animosity, it struggles
trying to escape this hood of man,
I reach my limit, stretch my talons, seek the boundaries from whence I suffer,
change the definition, precisely of where I stand,
I burn the light (in darkness, darkness, darkness)
I burn the light (in darkness, darkness, darkness)
I burn the light
a past that tempts of mercy, copacetic, lined in bitter memory,
the evil you're used to, or demons unknown
I count the blessings, count the curses, count the limitless potential,
I burn the light
wax poetic, debase the values built upon by greed and the want
to take control, and watch these temples fall
shrine to power, to corruption, to the holiest of holy rollers, built
to stifle the choice of will
(then the chorus again):

I fight this war against my apathy, my animosity, it struggles
trying to escape this hood of man,
I reach my limit, stretch my talons, seek the boundaries from whence I suffer,
change the definition, precisely of where I stand,
I burn the light (in darkness, darkness, darkness-)
