Candle in the Dark Songtext

von Means End

We wait for light
But behold darkness;
This I profess.

The more I learn, the less I know.
I always wondered how it can be so.

Perhaps the true delight is not knowing
But finding?

Searching through a demon haunted world,
Not knowing what I hope to find.
The arc of my mind bends
Toward a singularity,
Accelerating the perception of time.

Into a point this focus is compressed,
Adding new knowledge, everything is coalesced.
I know more now than before.
The only result being I need more...

Life can't ever be long enough
To find a key that sets me free.
Would I even want to be released?
The answer to this question is no.

Treading into the unknown;
Places where I'll be left alone.
I'll use my mind as a wick
And my soul as the oil to light the way
Just for a short while longer,
Like a candle in the dark...
