I'd been blinded by the light for so damn long, for so long
That it took losing everything to see I'd been wrong all along
I knew I had change somehow, but didn't know where to start
But a part of me died that day and said hello to the dark

And then it hit me
I’d rather rule in the dark than serve the light
(It hit me, it hit me)
Tell me how this is wrong when it feels so right
(It hit me it hit me)
I lost the fight, but won the war and in my heart a hole was torn forever
I thought that I'd lay down and die, but just then I began to fly from embers
From the embers I fly

I lost the fight, but won the war and in my heart a hole was torn forever
I thought that I’d lay down and die, but just then I began to fly from embers
From the embers I fly
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away

When you light a candle, watch the flames get brighter
But the shadows all around grow darker, grow darker
All the faces, flashing, changing
Everything is now mine for the taking, for breaking
How could I not see my reflection staring back at me
Was slowly changing, was waking
I spent my whole life fighting all this darkness in my heart from overtaking

But then it hit me
I’d rather rule in the dark than serve the light
(It hit me, it hit me)
Tell me how this is wrong when it feels so right
(It hit me it hit me)
I lost the fight, but won the war and in my heart a hole was torn forever
I thought that I’d lay down and die, but just then I began to fly from embers
From the embers I fly

Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away
