Let There Be Darkness, Let There Be Light

The sun peaks out, describes the mild
it tames the wild and shines its light.
Vinyl and stone, the broken, the forsaken.
It hides behind your heart's desire
it feels your touch, your inner fire.
But burns and blinds, and deprives
the night its prime.
If someone asks you, who are you?
If someone asks you to explain, you do.
About the world and the two sides
of every truth and every lie.
What holds the dark can hold the spire of life.
And if the stars upon your aisle
you may have crawled but now you lie
and stare into the very veil of time.
Let there be darkness, let there be light.
The violent night engulfs the cries
it takes you to your inner heights.
But exploits and steals good joy and grace.
It makes you look beyond the veil
it lets you sleep inside its cradle.
But it will take your soul, if you let it.
If someone asks you, who are you?
If someone asks you to explain, you do.
About the world and the two sides
of every truth and every lie.
What holds the dark can hold the spire of life.
And if the stars upon your aisle
you may have crawled but now you lie
and stare into the very veil of time.
Let there be darkness, let there be light.
