This Town, Going Under - A Lantern In The Daylight lyrics

rate me

Staring, distant, away, lost

His eyes unfocused, covered by the night's frost

His frozen hands won't let go of the wooden cross

Knowing no rules more stern

And lacking of glory to earn

A man hands him a lantern

Hoping he finds a new way to learn

Sticking it high to a sun who warms

Trembling in fear as a young man warns

"There is no need to search for someone who died"

Where is he now?

As I'm losing sight

As I'm afraid to die

And I'm even more afraid to live

Walking, searching, hoping, lost

A straight line towards the sun he trusts

Hurt, hungry and hopeless, he bows to the Saint and Just

He knows He's nowhere near

But he begs for someone to hear

He's crippled by the fear

Broken and useless missing a gear

I'm lost

And I'm losing sight

As I'm afraid to die
