What new world is this
Where the dark meets the light?
That calls me to act
Or to spare, or to fight

It gives me this power
That shines, burning bright
But I'll get my freedom
Before morning light

I cross through this field
Of the dark's hopes and dreams
A world unfamiliar
Nothing as it seems

With ashes and dust
All my memories scream
That I've lost my choice
Of what can be redeemed

Nobody has to die
There's no reason why
We can't let them be

We'll go and make amends
That's how the story ends
Be the change you want to be

Although this world is faded to black
I know all the stories are true
You'll free us all with me at your back
And I'm glad to be there with you

I cross through this field (although this world)
Of the dark's hopes and dreams (is faded to black)
A world unfamiliar (I know all the stories)
Nothing as it seems (are true)

With ashes and dust (you'll free us all)
All my memories scream (with me at your back)
That I've lost my choice (and I'm glad to be there with)
Of what can be redeemed (you)

Be the change you want to be
Is there a choice for me?
I guess we'll wait and see

Lost in this world I do not understand
Things unfamiliar but so out of hand
Is my lot in life just to follow commands?
As child of light and as child of man

The surveys in town tell me how much I've grown
My soul an enigma that they'll never know
Now everything feels like my will's not my own
Since I have been cast to the darkness below

I know you'll find a way
To share the light of day
With everybody here

Life is a crazy ride
But when we're side by side
Then there's nothing to fear

Although this world is faded to black
I know all the stories are true
You'll free us all with me at your back
And I'm glad to be there with you

You think I don't notice their stares?
They surveys in town (although this world)
Tell me how much I've grown (is faded to black)
My soul an enigma (I know all the stories)
That they'll never know (are true)
It doesn't matter, I won't care
Now everything feels (you'll free us all)
Like my will's not my own (with me at your back)
Since I have been cast (and I'm glad to be there)
To the darkness below (with you)

What is there I can be?
Since there's no choice for me?
