Without hope, passion fades
No integrity, life cracks and sways
Our lips silent, better sealed, than betrayed
Our hands in pockets, coldest summer haze
Our devastation, first prescribed and foreseen
When we first strayed from their path, unseen
Like a nude silhouette at night-bare and bold
Merely a shadow under the moon, a story untold
Lost, after the first small steps away, from their design
Who is guilty, whose to blame, they ask, only in hindsight
Our formless truth unspoken, yet so clearly in sight
As shadows linger, around the candle's flame tonight
Our devastation, first prescribed and foreseen
When we first strayed from their path, unseen
Like a nude silhouette at night-bare and bold
Merely a shadow under the moon, a story untold
Father, the Lightbearer, rise
Father, Lightbearer
Bring your torch back to these skies
Torch, now rise
Set fire to this endless night
Torch, the endless night
Guide us back towards the dawn's light
Lightbearer, torch our truth, guide us towards the light
Lightbearer, Lightbearer
Father, the Lightbearer
Carry us back, carry us home
Carry us, father
Bring back the fire, breathe the fire back into our souls
Bring back the fire, Lightbearer
Bring the dawn's light
Father, the Lightbearer
Bring the fire
Bring the light
Back into our souls
Stop this endless night
Father
The Lightbearer
Father, Oh father
Rise
Rise, Lightbearer
Set us free
Set us free, Father
Father, set us free
Lightbearer
Of our souls tonight
Set us
Free
Our devastation, first prescribed and foreseen
When we first strayed from their path, unseen
Like a nude silhouette at night-bare and bold
Merely a shadow under the moon, a story untold
Lightbearer, Lightbearer
Carry us back, carry us home
Bring back the fire
Breathe the fire back into our souls
Bring the dawn's light
Bring the fire, Bring the light
Back into our souls
Stop this endless night
Father
The Lightbearer
Father, Oh father
Set us free
Set us free
Father, ohhhhh, Lightbearer
Set us free
