Take me back, to when we were better men
Held up our heads, so the demons wouldn't escape again
It's such a beautiful lie, we tell ourselves while we sleep
We dream it every night, a vivid tragedy

If only we all could see

Keep them clean, those hands made of ivory
It's just expected, that history will repeat
Again and again

When you look in our eyes, tell me what it is you see
Another thief in the night, or a hopeless soul in need

If only we all could see
Just give us the light to see
Just give us the light

A thousand deaths and still, you let the darkness spill
Fuck every word you say, and just give us the light to help us see

The Light

Alexander Saint
