Light in the Distance Lyrics

I close my eyes, and I wait for
Peace to come, peace to come
Now I'm all alone, endlessly alone
Nothing else matters to me, to me
I close my eyes, the waiting is done
I feel my life slipping away

When the darkness comes
And all is said and done
Say another prayer before dying
Before dying, before dying, before dying

The emptiness that bound me
And cut me like a knife
Has faded in the distance
Surrendered to the light

There are no more questions
No more rolling dice
I have met tomorrow
Hey, I've paid the price
Take my hands and break away
From the shadows that hold us down
Take my hands and lead the way
To the light in the distance I've found

? and ask repentance
Silence without sound
My days of sin and regrets
Are eternally undone
Lead on like a Christian
To the hungry lions
I watch the pages in life's book
Devoured by the flame

Take my hands and break away
From the shadows that hold us down
Take my hands and lead the way
To the light in the distance I've found

Life goes on
Life goes on and on and on
Life goes on
Life goes on and on
