A ray of light
Burns through my darkest night

The darkest shadow fell on me
(It is the shadow of my grief)
It swallowed all that I believed
(Everything I have believed)
So I hold you close for the last time
(I know that soon we'll see)
Will I obey or lose my life?
(A brighter dawn)

Tears fill my heart
Loneliness - dark and trusted friend
Take me away!

There is a garden - once in a while
A sacred hope blooms there
Bringing me light
My dreams of silence soon will pass me by
…me by …me by …me by ….me by …me by…oh!

The darkest shadow fell on me
(It is the shadow of my grief)
It swallowed all that I believed
(Everything I have believed)
So I hold you close for the last time
(I know that soon we'll see)
Will I obey or lose my life?
(A brighter dawn)

There is a garden - once in a while
A sacred hope blooms there
Bringing me light
My dreams of silence soon will pass me by
…me by…me by…me by….me by…me by…oh!

The darkest shadow fell on me
(It is the shadow of my grief)
It swallowed all that I believed
(Everything I have believed)
So I hold you close for the last time
(I know that soon we'll see)
Will I obey or lose my life?
(A brighter dawn)

But there's a light within my dreams
(It is the shadow of my grief)
That leads back home if I believe
(I believe!)

So I hold my love for a moment
(Ghost of the past in me)
Then I obey - just a shadow remains
(Carry me home!)
