Communications down
I float without
A light to lead me back
I'm lost again
They say silence is golden
Loneliness never shined like this
Diseased the leper sits
The leper is me

Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again

Caught between the stars
A well lit drowning
Darkness mocks me with
A broken compass
So I swim in a sea
Of distress
Broken down, and helpless
The leper sits diseased
The leper is me

Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again

Floating all alone
Floating all alone

Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again

    This song has a really epic feel to it, which I just love! It makes me imagine someone taking a secret journey under cover of night. And sometimes vampires. Or astronauts.

    ...None of those things fit together at all. XD

    Anyway, I think this song is the kind that isn't really about anything in particular and focuses more on putting striking images into the listener's head. I like that it leaves it up to the listener to make associations. And I personally think the imagery in this song is spectacular.
