[Verse 1]
Deep in the ocean of darkness
Reflected in mirrors of light
Balance drifts, a fleeting stranger
Lost in the dead of the night
In your dreams, he rides the tempest
Tearing the silk of your peace
Beyond the shade, he finds his station
Waiting for the pain to cease
[Pre-Chorus]
A miracle burns through the hollow
Yet harmony feels like a ghost
For every light, a shadow follows
The one that we fear the most
Ever the night springs from the day
[Chorus]
In the end, it’s never just the light you need
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
In the end, it’s never just the dark you seek
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
[Verse 2]
Beyond the lake he called a sanctuary
Lies a tide of emerald green
An evil twin, a restless parasite
Scratches at the walls unseen
A sovereign king in leather lace
With madness masked by a beautiful face
Can’t you see the play he’s staging?
[Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
The mirror cracks against the pressure
The shards are silver in your palm
We trade the chaos for the vacuum
A cold and suffocating calm
He’s not a ghost, he’s just a memory
Of every choice you left behind
A king of salt, a lord of nothing
The architect of your own mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Ever the light casts a shadow
Ever the night springs from the day
Balance drifts, a fleeting stranger
In your fantasies, he rides the storm
[Chorus]
In the end, it’s never just the light you need
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
In the end, it’s never just the dark you seek
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
[Bridge - Extended]
Screaming, as the new dark descends
Frail frame caught in fathomless black
I drown in the depths of a hollow domain
With no way to find the path
( Divide the heart, unite the soul)
Unraveling reason's scheme
(The light is grey, the dark is whole)
I’m reaching for the center line
Between the curse and the divine!
[Final Chorus / Outro]
In the end, it’s never just the light you need
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
Deep in the ocean of darkness...
Reflected in a mirror of light...
Peace waits beyond the storm.
( Balance drifts...)
