The Light

The light
==========

Down on spirit and done with life , too tired for anything but death
On the ground with dust in my face, Beaten in love, Beaten in life
Out on my last breath and closing my eyes for one last time
Savouring the last moments with the world that crushed me

Tired to think of anything and waiting for the final blow
My life scrolls past me and all I can remember are only failures
I fought and toiled and shed blood only to embrace the waiting defeat
With a beaten heart and a gloomy eye, all I see is only darkness

A Darkness so eager to destroy whatever hope that is left with me 
I am afraid to close my eyes fearing the darkness that is waiting
Just when I am ready to give up on myself, I sense a speck
A ray of light cutting the darkness around, a hand from heaven

A hand trying to lift me from the depths of darkness I was destined to
Engulfed by a light so unreal but familiar and comforting
I see Faces drift before me, faces so very dear and friendly
And I remember the smiles, the laughs, the promises and my life

A life I shared with those faces , a life made happy by those faces
A wonderful life so easily forgotten , a life worth living for
And the light keeps getting stronger, its brilliance defeating the darkness
And the light shows me the life i missed , the light gives me the life i wished

I will be beaten again , I will bite the dust again and maybe again
But I know it will be there , the light that gives me hope
The light that makes life worth living for, a life so special
The light that shows me the faces, the faces which love me
