Ignite the Light

In the light of a candle — that gently gleams
Digging through the cullets — of my broken dreams
I pick them up to put them back together
To start something better
But life has other plans for me
At the end of the tunnel
I can see the light
There is still a little something left
Inside me to ignite
I look out of dead eyes — to the naked floor
Searching the room — but can’t find a door
Give it up — don’t resist — down on your knees
The chokehold I’m in makes it hard to breathe
It’s so hard to breathe
No way outside — away from here
My last hope disappears
At the end of the tunnel
I can see the light
There is still a little something left
Inside me to ignite
Fight fire with fire turn darkness into light
There’s still a little something left
Inside me to ignite
Against the flood I’m standing tall
Tear down the ruins before they fall
A rain of fire and bursting flames
Ashes and smoke are what remains
Against the flood I’m standing tall
Tear down the ruins before they fall (before they fall)
A rain of fire and bursting flames
Ashes and smoke are what remains
…are what remains
