Lyrics

The sky was empty, dark and cold
A world of stone, no love to hold
A demon roar, three heads aflame
Whispering lies, calling my name
I ran afraid with nowhere to hide
But still you called from the other side
My fear was strong, my strength was small
But then I heard your voice above it all
Do not be afraid, I am with you
Child, don't turn away, I'll see you through
When the darkness roars and the night is wild
I'll say it again, forward child
It spit out fire, it screamed my shame
You'll never be enough, you'll wear these chains
But you spoke truth and broke the lies
I saw the fury fade from its eyes
Every step I took it fell apart
The ashes burned but you healed my heart
The child I'd lost was waiting still
She held my face and whispered, now be still
Do not be afraid, I am with you
Child, don't turn away, I'll see you through
When the darkness roars and the night is wild
I'll say it again, forward child
Lies can't bind you, fear can't stay
The demon fades as the light breaks day
Your chains are gone, your shame set free
The voice of love is your victory
Do not be afraid, I am with you
Child, don't turn away, I'll see you through
When the darkness roars and the night is wild
I'll say it again, forward child
And when the battle is finally done
You'll stand in the light forgiving one
With a trembling voice, with a tearful smile
You'll say the words, it is done my child
