Silently I justify the ways
That all of this could be made right
All these windows are open to me
Purity opposed by the night
I reach through to the other side
Guided by the muse of game
Renouncing the virtues of light
Unchained and free to walk away
Fallen to the earth
Benighted by leaves of decay
Lost, wandering
Searching far away, but looking back
At these windows beckoning to me
Freedom serves a mistress in black
Paralyzed in the other side
Blinded by the fuse of shame
Beseeching the virtues of light
Imprisoned for this selfish gain
Swallowed by the earth
Drowning in self-righteous pain
Suddenly awake and free to move
I am cleansed by clarity's gaze
All these windows offer hope to me
Fuel that sets the darkness ablaze
I walk through from the other side
Reignite the inner flame
Embracing the virtues of light
These scars remind me to remain
Grounded to the earth
Integrity set to obtain... self-preserving reign
