Lyrics:
Close my eyes and wait for the light that is burning at dawn
Feel the night and forget I am fighting all alone
Coldest wind but I know that there is warmth in the sun
When it rises I will finally become someone
Let the world give me a name
Let me out, let me escape
All these walls come crumbling down
Broken pieces all around
Why's the sun not coming up
Illuminate me, I feel numb
Let the world give me a name
Let me out, let me escape
I want to turn all my darkness to light
Let me out, let me escape just once
All my life
All my world
Dreams of making it
To the morning sun
All this time
All in vain
Morning only brought
Seas of bleeding rain
I've been waiting in the dark
Claws dig deep inside my heart
It is an eye for an eye
But I have always been blind
Let the world give me a name
Let me out, let me escape
All these walls come crumbling down
Broken pieces all around
Don't tell me I'm not right
You're twisting up my mind
My heart you can't deny
All my life
All my world
Dreams of making it
To the morning sun
All this time
All in vain
Morning only brought
Seas of bleeding rain
All my life
All my world
Dreams of making it
To the morning sun
All this time
All in vain
Morning only brought
Seas of bleeding rain
