A blinding light has taken over me
And what does fighting it even mean?
To push back circumstantial thoughts in my head
Give it a whirl then drop like lead
I could’ve planned ahead of time
But between stood and stand is a borderline
So circle around me, give me the downbeat
The definitive moment finally found me
My enemies are beautiful
But I can see their crooked souls
And so I go off into the open sea
You can call it a defeat
But I retreat
Would it be right to stand against you
When certain death would come along?
So take your stance in judgment while I tighten my shoes
Cause curtains will come to the strong
My enemies are beautiful
But I can see their crooked souls
And so I go off into the open sea
You can call it a defeat
But I retreat
I can see them…
With a blinding light in my eyes…
