In the Light and the Dark

(Boy)

Lonely and cold I descend into darkness

All alone, no hope to be found

I need a light in this empty world

I need a light to be saved

 

(Girl)

In sun I have watched you

From afar but have never come close

For you are dark and I am the light

It can never be  

 

(Chorus)

I’m alone tonight

I’m alone today

In the dark in the light

I’m alone in cold/warmth anyway

 

Afraid, filled with fear

You can never come near

Only alone are we safe

From this terrible fate

If I touch you, you die

If I don’t you I will live

Much better are you without me in your life

But empty is all that I feel

 

(Boy)

Terrible people must have cast this curse

So that I may never be

With the one I need

With the one I want

Tis' a dangerous life to lead

 

Does she know how I feel?

In the dark where I lurk

In the shadows I stay

To keep from being burnt

 

The light is too blinding

For me to exist

Yet.. she is there

And I remain here

 

(Girl)

I am afraid of the dark

I have always been

Yet in the light, I feel more afraid

If I cannot touch you, then I lose my control

But I am afraid for you

 

My touch is like fire

And yours is like ice

Just a touch and you may disappear

And I would be left alone here

 

So tell me what’s worse

Forever alone or to once have touched?

I don’t know

I don’t know

Tell me which one

 

(Chorus)

I’m alone tonight

I’m alone today

In the dark in the light

I’m alone in the cold/warmth anyway

 

Afraid, filled with fear

You can never come near

Only alone are we safe

From this terrible fate

If I touch you, you die

If I don’t you I will live

Much better are you without me in your life

But empty is all that I feel

 

(Boy)

Touch and I die

Love and I die

Must I choose to stay away in fright?

 

(The boy looks at the girl and smiles, reaching out his hand)

No….

I shall go with you

Cast away my fear

I don’t care if I’m burnt 

If I can just hold you near

We were meant to be, so damn their curse

Love wasn’t meant to be bound

 

(Both)

Your skin is like ice/fire

So cold/warm, so right

Please don’t mind if I can’t last the night

I’m fulfilled, I don’t care

My life has been well spent

I love you, I love you

 

(Boy)

This pain I feel

Is nothing

For what I feel now is joy

Never have I felt so alive in my life

I thank you, my love,

Goodbye
