Lyrics:
Some will be driven by conflict Others will fight the good fight Some will rely on the darkness Some will rely on the light
Some elevate with compassion Yearning for knowledge and peace Some motivate through aggression And selfishly serve their own needs
Shadows disappear at night Buried out of fear Driven underground
Hidden lies the rage inside Like a ticking bomb That doesn't make a sound
People will obsess With suffering and death Questioning their own desires
This morbid fascination Renders us possessed By our violent and destructive side
When we lay our armor down Fragments of our love Slip through the cracks of hate
But the raging storm below Will never go away If it is not embraced
Shadows disappear at night Buried out of fear Driven underground
Hidden lies the rage inside Like a ticking bomb That doesn't make a sound
Shadows disappear at night Harmless as a dove Clever like a snake
Hidden lies the rage inside Like a sleeping giant One we dare not wake
Standing under the eclipse Are we sheltered and concealed Or bathing in its glow?
Our desires and ambitions And our need to believe There is good in this world Spin the common thread
