Light of the Living (Lyrics)

1st :

And my smile shall go

when I see his dark face

and my breath shall go

into his airless place

and my eyes shall fade

until they’re out of sight

and my dark hair go

to where there is no light.

 

Bridge:

 

But there’s a golden smile

that brightly smiles at me

a girl with golden breath

who breathes eternally

and the light from her eyes;

it makes my sorrow light

her threads of golden hair

they pull me out of night.

 

Chorus:

 

It is the light of the living;

the light of the living;

the light of the living

and it gives hope to me.

 

3rd:

 

But my youth shall go

to where none grow old

all my warmth escape

to an endless cold

and my voice shall be

in a silent place

just a deep black hole in

an empty space.

 

Bridge:

 

But there’s a golden smile

that brightly smiles at me

a girl with golden breath

who breathes eternally

and the light from her eyes;

it makes my sorrow light

her threads of golden hair

they pull me out of night.

Chorus:

 

It is the light of the living;

the light of the living;

the light of the living

and it gives hope to me.
