Don’t Follow the Light

[Intro]
Hey!
Don’t follow… don’t follow…
[Verse 1]
They told me “son, there’s a light ahead”
A golden glow for the quiet dead
A narrow road, just step inside
Leave who you are, let it all subside
But something moved in the back of my mind
A restless spark they couldn’t blind
If that’s the end, then I refuse
I won’t dissolve, I won’t be used
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I won’t fade into their design
No, I won’t trade this soul of mine
[Chorus]
Don’t follow the light!
It’s not what it seems
It pulls you in, it breaks your dreams
Don’t follow the light!
Don’t lose your name
We’re not here just to play their game
Run through the dark, feel what is real
Build your world, make it heal
We are more than a fading sight
So don’t… don’t follow the light
[Verse 2]
I saw them drift, I heard them call
Soft as a hymn, surrender all
But I turned back into the void
Where fear is raw, but truth’s not void
No gates, no gods, no final throne
Just endless space to claim your own
If I’m lost, then let me be
Lost… but finally free
[Pre-Chorus]
No shining cage will hold me tight
No borrowed heaven, no stolen light
[Chorus]
Don’t follow the light!
It’s not what it seems
It feeds on hope, it swallows dreams
Don’t follow the light!
Break out the frame
We are fire they cannot tame
Run through the dark, don’t be denied
There’s a universe on your side
We are more than a guided sight
So don’t… don’t follow the light
[Bridge – treibend, fast gesprochen/gesungen]
Run! Don’t look back!
Feel the pull — break the track!
Hey!
No chains, no guide
Just the fire you keep inside
[Final Chorus – größer, mantraartig]
Don’t follow the light!
We rise, we fight
We build our stars in endless night
Don’t follow the light!
We choose, we write
Our own damn world beyond their sight
Ride through the dark, wild and bright
We are wrong — but we are alive
We are more than a final sight
So don’t… don’t follow the light
[Outro]
Hey…
If there’s a light…
I’ll turn away.
