Emerge

Wander through shadow in search of light
A beautiful journey to discover life
A journey of sorrow, a journey of joy
A journey to see if you are who you think
Grieve through the anguish that runs through your veins
If you're careful, and listen, and fight through the pain
You'll emerge something new, something focused and pure
Life is not preordained, you are nobody's slave

Grieve through the anguish
That is running through your veins
Careful, listen, fight the pain
Grieve through the anguish
That is running through your veins
Listen, you are no slave

Close the doors on the sorrows left behind
Forever yearning for the light

Hey, is anyone listening?
Are my signals getting through?
Am I lost in space all alone?
Hey, what's that in the distance?
What's that beacon in the dark
Calling out to me? (To me?)
Hey, is anyone listening

Do not succumb to false thrones and gods
We are here, we are real
And we will not back down
We will rise above your walls and tear them all down

Ride towards the sky where the unknown awaits
And charge into battle to claim your own fate
A battle of conquest, a battle of loss
A battle to prove to yourself that you're not
A soul with no purpose to wither and die
You will live, you will prosper and with luck over time
You'll emerge something new, something focused and pure
Life is not preordained, you are nobody's slave

I thought the answer was within me all along
But now I know that isn't so then
The destination is the journey after all
To push the boundaries of my soul

Close the doors on the sorrows left behind
Forever yearning for the light
