Standing In The Light

Standing In The Light

A Poem by JayJayBlue
"

It's about finding out the truth about someone or something, completely stripping away your preconceived notions of what they were

"
Where are we now?
In limbo between the fire and the light
Everything we collected has collapsed
Into the sea's greedy mouth
We've lost all our memories to the night

Now I feel we're digging an early grave
Can we brush away the malice?
Darkness descends on our early days
Drinking from the fountain of youth
With a poisoned chalice

Now we're in the light
Punching holes in the gates of heaven
We can sing a different song
Here's to us
And the eternal fight

Here we stand now
In Eden but it turned out to be a sham
We'll depart as traitors, as heretics
Hell holds no more fears
Heaven is nothing but a trap

Let's cut to the distant future
Can we just love and be alive?
Understanding dawns for the first time
Exposing everything that we knew
Paradise is an empty lie

Now we're in the light
Punching holes in the gates of heaven
We can sing a different song
Here's to us
And the eternal fight
