Into Darkness Into
Light
You've got
to work in the morning
But in the dark of the night
You must take heed, take my warning
The time has come to take flight
And you are drawn to the fire
You think you're safe in the light
But you will burn in your shadow
You've gotta stay out of sight
Your darkest dream is your
warning
Yes, you must go down that well
The brightest light is the illusion
It is your gateway to hell
You think illusions are clearer
In the light of the day
Then tell me this, who are you working for?
You just wake up and then you start to obey
You've gotta fall into darkness
That's how to take flight
Fly into the shadows
To be in the light
(That's what I say to you)
Oh, so you think I'm your
deceiver?
That I shall lead you astray?
I have no need for the believer
I cannot show you the way
You say you need a sharper
focus
A looking glass in the day
Well very good, but let me ask you this my friend
why do you miss me when I walk away?
You've gotta fall into darkness
That's how to take flight
Fly into the shadows
To be in the light
You've gotta fall into darkness
That's how to take flight
Fly into the shadows
To be in the light
The animal within you can't
take substance from your lies
Your whole existence has been one big compromise
And your refusal to acknowledge me it comes as no surprise
But I'm the part of you you can't let go
I'm your glowing shadow
You've got to work in the
morning
What did you do last night?
You sat before your computer
Your face was bathed in light
You went to sleep in the
evening
You've gotta work all day
I'll tell you this, you better hold on to me before you look around
you'll find that I have faded away
You've gotta fall into darkness
That's how to take flight
Fly into the shadows
To be in the light
You've gotta fall into darkness
That's how to take flight
Fly into the shadows
To be in the light
(That's all I gotta say)
