A Light in the Dark Lyrics

Shadows in a dark place lurk inside the walls
Hiding from daylight hiding from us all
Windows of a past life, reflections hard to find
Memories of lost days, etch their place in time
Anger and frustration, diseases of the mind
Just like the evils, the evils of mankind
Submerged and frozen, in this icy hell
Reaching for tomorrow, what will the fortune tell

Light transcends into our memory, dark descends upon the misery
When soulless spirits grasp the beating heart
Remember there is a light in the dark

Blessed our the visions of ones who have dared
Healing the masses with the crosses they bear
The dawn of creation is where it begins
The privilege of power gives the privilege to sin

Screaming for some sanity, drift like a lost soul
Curse on all humanity the worlds lost control
Inside out reality, we're victims of a crime
Innocence has since been lost, we've all been left behind

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The song delves into the belief of hope and resilience in the face of darkness and despair. Painting a picture of a world cast in darkness, and where people are consumed by anger and the evils that plagues mankind. However, the song offers a glimmer of hope, and encourages listeners to persevere despite the overwhelming darkness that surrounds them. It serves as a reminder to hold onto hope and to seek out the light within themselves and others, so we can work towards a better future.
