The Light That Blinds

Album: The War Within (2004)

  • A crack forms in the foundation
    Fault line through your defenses
    Illuminating the essence
    Once clouded by a myth

    Store bought conformity
    Force-fed duality, I warp reality

    The comfort that you will find,
    As you remain hidden.
    The light betrays,
    Casting your true self away,
    They remain blinded.

    As Vanity possesses me
    I am further away
    Gripped by a belief in empty words
    Driven by a need to prove

    The shell may wither
    But the fire burns eternal

    You hide behind
    Cower
    The light that blinds

    Will never find
    What burns inside
    You remain blind
