Into the Light Songtext
von Artmagic

Lonely by yellow lamplight
Filling your pen
As the ebb tide drains your heart
The pearl forms again
Rising your way back northwards
Into the green
To dream of remembered hills
Where you′ve never been

Every word from despair was torn
Down in the deep, hidden from sight
But the roses outlive the thorns
Long as you sleep, they will survive


How did you bear that yearning
When it would come?
With the rage of cornered beast
Or the shrug of a tired man?
Was there ever burden shed
When the graft of the day was done?
Or only the narrow bed
To wait upon?

Every word from despair was torn
Down in the deep, hidden from sight
But the roses outlive the thorns
Long as you sleep, they will survive

Now you rest in the darkness warm
Down in the deep, hidden from sight
Still your roses outlive those thorns
Though you may sleep, see how they thrive
