A Shot In the Dark

a shot lost in the night
surrounded by a dark foreboding
wondering, "how long can i fight?"
singing the songs of endless loathing
to chase away truth's light

fire sparking, igniting what's right
"peace unto you", I say
"hold this torch to make the demons
run from your sight."

You won't feel me holding your hand
but i will lead you as best as i can
when this fire dies
we'll walk in the moonbeams
past the night and into the dawn

the shadows may close in on you
it's alright though
I promise this last shot
won't get lost in the dark

haunting us are the ghosts
of troubled pasts
made to darken
and twist our paths

fire sparking, igniting what's right
"Peace unto you," i say
"hold this torch to make the demons
run from your sight"

You won't feel me holding your hand
but i will lead you as best as i can
when this fire dies
we'll walk in the moonbeams
past the night and into the dawn

Just hold this torch
I promise you, these demons
they'll run from your sight
