Lamplight shines in black infinity
A hollow lantern world
The story of a soul
Began along these lamplit boulevards
Where mother keeps us warm
With no cause for alarm
Where you quietly disarm
The questions casting shadows on your heart
I'm sure, it's there
I saw it in the dark
A whisper of a spark glow softly from afar
But here along these lamplit boulevards
Our mother keeps us warm with no cause for alarm
Yet still, I want to know
Is that a fire in the horizon
Still I want to know
Or an illusion in my eyes
Nothing ever changes here it happens all the time
So how come only I can see this distant light
What if from afar my silent star
Is the brightest candle in the night
My burning monument
In radiance where the darkness is torn from my sight
Can't bury these feelings (believe what you're seeing)
Of the disquieting notion that maybe there's more out there
Mother do you see that distant light
It's calling me come closer
(Come closer)
Mother of all beings could I try
To journey in the endless
Unnamed expanse
Only if you live without my light
Prithee, my child, perish the thought
And if you go you can never come back to your home
Could you make that choice?
My darling boy, please stay forevermore
And when your eyes are clear
They'll be sincere
The brightest night is here in lamplight
Life in the gentle glow
Our eternal home
Where the darkness is torn from your sight
Can't bury these feelings
(Believe what I'm saying)
Of the disquieting notion that maybe there's more out there
What if you don't find your answers, boy?
Then I guess I'll know how far I'd go
Go and you'll never see your home again
And if I don't crumble from within
In the darkness, you will lose your way
I'm already lost if I stay
Stay just a while, you should think this through
I know it hurts but I need to know the truth
My little doll you're just a child (Now I can silently disarm)
Your small eyes only see in dull and wild (The questions shadows on)
But I can't be as cold as cruelty (My heart's so full, I'll stoke the fire)
A gentle breeze upon your candle (Upon my candle)
If you must go
I can't tell you no
So strike your match against the nameless dark
Take this lantern
Feed the fire
With your hope else be consumed
By the dark abyss
Soon I'll know for sure
If my silent star
Is the brightest candle in the night
Mother, I promise
To only miss you as long as I live in infinity
So farewell to lamplight
Goodbye forever
Now I turn words into motion for I know there's more out there
