A life of mischief, earthly illusion
A time in vain grief, always just losing, yeah
Time down the drain, in circles running
A hellbound train for those so cunning, yeah
I never waited but anticipated
I knew that this moment would come
And now I see
As I rose above these withered walls
And saw the beauty of life
I chose the dove that sadly calls
To be my guide by my side
To take me to the light
Take me to the light
It's time of judgment or absolution
Which is for me meant, end of illusion, yeah
This purgatory will leave me shining
Heavenly glory will I be joining, yeah
I never waited but anticipated
I knew that this moment would come
And now I see
As I rose above these withered walls
And saw the beauty of life
I chose the dove that sadly calls
To be my guide by my side
To take me to the light
Take me to the light
I never waited but anticipated
I knew that this moment would come
And now I see
As I rose above these withered walls
And saw the beauty of life
I chose the dove that sadly calls
To be my guide by my side
To take me to the light
As I rose above these battered walls
And saw the margins of life
I felt the love that answers all
It was my guide by my side
It brought me to the light
