Highest (From "The Eminence in Shadow")

No more pretending, keep on ascending
It's all or nothing under the moonlight
Reaching out, taking what's mine

Looking over all I've yet to conquer
It doesn't matter to me how good and evil collide
The only way this ends is something I will decide

Everything begins with just a choice
Never waste a single step I take
Underneath the dark and endless sky
Something's gonna change with every move I make

Only one that I wanted to be
To the one who won't understand me
Determination holding strong
No matter what, I'll never give up what I'm dreaming

Highest, highest, I'll go on
Far beyond the light and the darkness, I will wait for you
Highest, highest, I'll carry on
Even if the journey is ever lonely, I'll take it all

This is my truth

Come and follow, we will seize tomorrow
With neither righteous resolve, nor dark malicious intent
I swear that I am gonna see this through to the end

Now the time has come to make a choice
But is this reality a lie?
I relentlessly pursue the truth
Chasing after shadows no one else can find

In the light, nobody will know me
In the night, nobody can touch me
I'll make the necessary sacrifice
No matter what, I'll never give up what I'm dreaming

Highest, highest, I'll go on
Solitary glory, feel the power, you will recognize
Highest, highest, I'll carry on
I am the exception you will remember forevermore

This is my time

Looking over all I've yet to conquer
I never wanted to be just a replaceable piece
A cog in the machine where we've forgotten our dreams

I'll keep trying for my belief
All who dare defy me, you won't break me
Fall down to your knees

Highest, highest, I'll go on
Far beyond the light and the darkness, I will wait for you
Highest, highest, I'll carry on
Even if the journey is ever lonely, I'll take it all

This is my truth
