Moving through this space of infinite possibilities,

we hide behind the light, afraid to show our demons.

We pretend to be righteous and deceive ourselves

into believing we walk the noble path of love.

As truth creeps upon us, ever so silently,

the reality of our evil existence is revealed.

It is then that we set our souls on fire and watch time burn them to ashes

and as the phoenix rises, we learn to fly.

In the shadow of the sun, reborn as stars,

we alone possess the light to burn our darkness away.
