Lights Songtext
von Peter Hollens feat. Eppic

I had a way then
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown

And I′m not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now
The strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone
You shine it when I′m alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
′Cause they′re calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling, home
You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone


(Eppic)
Now the door′s locked,
It's just me
But something else,
Someone else is there
Have no use,
I′ve met my doom,
Or I'm having one hell of a nightmare

There is no way of preventing this eclipse
Off my rhythm, no attentiveness
Supposed to be mortal, you show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone like I′m some gargoyle

I wanna send the word in the chaos,
No hits, I'm curious if
During the chaos, you can pick out
And decide which are the heroes and the heroines

I'm, I, I′m ghostly mortified
I′m happy 'til they take composure
Yes, and right now I would have to say I wish I was anything but sober
And that′s because...


(Peter)
You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone (When I′m alone)
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they′re gone
'Cause they're calling (Calling), calling (Calling), calling me home
Calling (Calling), calling (Calling), calling, home
You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone
You shine it when I′m alone (It′s shining when I'm alone)

(Eppic)
As the king was dethroned
By someone that came into the room, so subtle
Had noticed, and the mists changed,
Feeling unsafe, and the atmosphere in the walls of my home

Your guess is as good as mine,
But I′m guessing they're after that little light of mine
So which body could′ve stayed in the mist?
I'm currently vulnerable, and that′s because...

(Peter)
You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone (When I'm alone)
And so I tell myself that I′ll be strong (I′ll be strong)
And dreaming when they're gone
′Cause they're calling (Calling), calling (Calling), calling me home
Calling (Calling), calling (Calling), calling, home
You show the lights that stop me
Turn to stone
You shine it when I′m alone (It's shining when I′m alone)

Oh (Lights, lights)
Oh (Lights, lights)
Oh (Lights, lights)
(Lights, lights)

Oh (Lights, lights)
Oh (Lights, lights)
Oh (Lights, l-l-lights)
(Lights, lights)
