_ _ _ _ _ _ Across the vein of night there comes a path of searing light,
Burning like a beacon on the edges of [A] our sight.
At [D] the point of total darkness and the light's divine, divine,
A soul can let its shadow stretch and land [A] on neither ground, [D] neither side. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] Unbalanced on the precipice, the moment must reveal,
Naked in the face of time, I'll race [A] within the wheel,
[D] As we hang beneath the heavens and we hover over our hell,
Our hearts become the instruments [A] we learn to play so well.
So [D]
we'll be the spirit that knows its own plight,
They'll be [A] the [G] hunter who slays his [D] own pride,
Blessed [A] the [G] traveler who [D] journeys the night of the [A] light.

_ _ _ Outside the full of gravity, [C] beyond the spectral [D] veil,
Within our careful reasoning we search to [A] no avail,
[D] For the constant in the chaos, for the fulcrum in the void,
Following our destiny our steps can't [A] come [D] aboard.

_ _ In the spiral never-ending are we drawn toward the source,
Spitting at the mercy of an [A] unrelenting force.
[D] So we stare into the emptiness and fall beneath the weight,
Circling the nexus in a [A] fevered dance with fate.
[D] We'll be the spirit that knows [A] its own [D] plight,
They'll be the hunter who [G] slays [A] his own [D] pride,
Blessed [A] the [G] traveler who [D] journeys the night of [A] the light.
