Under the Cover of Darkness - Alicia Bridges

So we've reached where we were bound Travelled far, serenity found Now our splendour, grace, will be restored And prosperity can once more bless our lives And thus we are free to follow our calling To search for our sacred goddess divine We trust our faith, our knowledge will guide us Believing we'll scatter the darkness that bound us in utter despair And as a new light arrived, so we can rejoice 'Cause our lives have been restored Excavations have begun Deeper towards the core, we explore And then a ray of shining silver glow We have found the relic of our lore We've found a way to salvation To worship and pray we'll save our race We trust our faith, our knowledge will guide us Believing we'll scatter the darkness that bound us in utter despair And as a new light arrived, so we can rejoice 'Cause our lives have been restored "Little they knew what light they'd ignited A beacon of doom, of destruction and pain They thought they were free from fear and extinction And now once again, they're hunted knowing not that darkness looms again" We trust our faith, our knowledge will guide us Believing we'll scatter the darkness that bound us in utter despair And as a new light arrived, so we can rejoice 'Cause our lives have been restored And so we're free from oppression And we can live our lives in peace For eternity...

It feels like the end of the world, it seems like nobody cares Is it real, am I going insane? Am I ever gonna change my ways? Isolated, separated, sick of the mess I created The pressure keeps rising when the truth is what I'm fighting We march out of the darkness We revel in the flames The mission is accomplished We're ready for the change And the only thing that will set us free is living through the pain And the only thing that I'll guarantee we'll never be the same It feels like I'm still in a cage And I scream 'til I'm blue in the face Is it real or is it a phase? I think the time has come to change my ways I'm ready and willing to take what I've been grieving The pressure keeps rising 'cause the truth is what I'm fighting We march out of the darkness We revel in the flames The mission is accomplished We're ready for the change And the only thing that will set us free is living through the pain And the only thing that I'll guarantee we'll never be the same And it's okay, it's alright, just let go, you'll be fine It's okay, it's alright, just let go, you'll be fine We march out of the darkness We revel in the flames The mission is accomplished We're ready for the change And the only thing that will set us free is living through the pain And the only thing I'll guarantee we'll never be the same And it's okay, it's alright, just let go, you'll be fine It's okay, it's alright, just let go, you'll be fine It's okay, it's alright, just let go, you'll be fine It's okay, it's alright, just let go, you'll be fine

I waved the white flag I gave all I had I'd even given up on love itself, hmm, hmm Soaked by my tears I was choked by my fears Just a stubborn man too proud to ask for help You don't know those words you said Were the ones that pulled me from the edge Oh, I used to walk on bridges with one thing on my mind Do I wanna live or do I wanna die? Staring at the waters while trying to decide Between the pain that I've been living with or the pain I'd leave behind Or the demons I've been fighting on, the angels by my side Oh-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey The scars on my skin, they don't even begin To show the darkest places that I've been, nah, oh The water is rising behind my eyes And only you can see the thoughts I'm drowning in I wanna thank you for those words you said 'Cause they pulled me right back from the edge Oh, I used to walk on bridges with one thing on my mind Do I wanna live or do I wanna die? Staring at the waters while trying to decide Between the pain that I've been living with or the pain I'd leave behind Or the demons I've been fighting on, the angels by my side Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Oh, I used to walk on bridges with one thing on my mind But now I walk on bridges to reach the other side
