lyrics

the emotion here is gone
it faded like the last notes of a song
should’ve known it all along
what seemed right turned out to be so wrong
it’s like what was had never been
the dust has settled, light’s just pouring in
to darkness’s chagrin
she’s been chased out to not return again

the dark is gone and i
the dark is gone and i
the dark is gone and i am the light

the passion that we shared
the lesson learned whose load i could not bear
like clockwork, you were there,
inquisitive that i’d decide to dare

the dark is gone and i
the dark is gone and i
the dark is gone and i am the light

(bridge)

the moment fades away
the color fades out, leaving only grey
but the lines and shadows stay
as a testament to all i learned that day

the dark is gone and i
the dark is gone and i
the dark is gone and i am the light
am the light
am the light
am the light

Rituals is a driving tour de force, and deftly avoids the scenic route. ... more
