Go Towards the Light
Go Towards The Light
The soul-littered stairs I climb
Echo with whispers. Hear. All are free.
Go towards the light.
Even though the monster they tried to fight
Still creeps and crawls behind me
Up the soul-littered stairs I climb.
Walls block nothing at this height
For a dream has parted the sea.
Go towards the light.
Spirits embrace me. Sinews combine
And upon the slain life breathes
In the soul-littered stairs I climb.
Suddenly locked doors burst open wide
And I surrender to this reversed gravity
Go towards the light.
