Lyrics

(Intro)

(Introduction)

(Verse 1)
The dark descends like a heavy shroud
The silence screaming, entirely too loud
Creeping through the freeze of the midnight air
A sudden presence, a freezing stare
An unknown shadow standing in the black
No path ahead and no turning back
Secrets unraveling under the skin
This is where the darkest trials begin

(Verse 2)
The mind is playing tricks in the dead of night
An entity of malice, devoid of light
Fighting a war in a personal cage
Bleeding the ink on a blackened page
They try to break my spirit, try to bend the spine
But the strength to survive this war is mine
The comfort is dead, the illusions fall
Staring down the shadow against the wall!

(Chorus)
WHEN THE NIGHTFALL CRUSHES THE VISIONS OF MAN!
I WILL STAND AS GRIM AS I POSSIBLY CAN!
Swallowed by the dark, fighting through the pain
Finding a power that they can't restrain!
Though the blackness stretches infinite and deep
I have promises to myself I must keep!
LOST IN THE ABYSS, BURNING THROUGH THE NIGHT!
THERE IS STILL A GLIMMER OF LIGHT!

(Verse 3)
The stranger lingers on the edge of sight
A testing of the soul in the absolute night
The pressure is crushing, the atmosphere cold
A bitter nightmare beginning to unfold
Confronting the demons that wait in the shade
Reclaiming the ground from the choices I made
The labyrinth is clearing, the terror must fade!

(Chorus)
WHEN THE NIGHTFALL CRUSHES THE VISIONS OF MAN!
I WILL STAND AS GRIM AS I POSSIBLY CAN!
Swallowed by the dark, fighting through the pain
Finding a power that they can't restrain!
Though the blackness stretches infinite and deep
I have promises to myself I must keep!
LOST IN THE ABYSS, BURNING THROUGH THE NIGHT!
THERE IS STILL A GLIMMER OF LIGHT!

(Bridge)
The dark is vast...
The threat is real...
BUT SO IS THE WILL TO SURVIVE!
RISE!

(Raw Melancholic Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)
WHEN THE NIGHTFALL CRUSHES THE VISIONS OF MAN!
I WILL STAND AS GRIM AS I POSSIBLY CAN!
Swallowed by the dark, fighting through the pain
Finding a power that they can't restrain!
Though the blackness stretches infinite and deep
I have promises to myself I must keep!
LOST IN THE ABYSS, BURNING THROUGH THE NIGHT!
THERE IS STILL A GLIMMER OF LIGHT!

(Outro)
Nightfall...
I found the light.
