From what I've gathered
you grew up nice and sheltered
with mama's pretty stories
and your own made-up furies
And mama gave me
a magic clicker
Well yes I think it's
true and fair to say
C'mon in and listen
lost words
you've been missing
of the fire you're bearing
the eye of the darkness
Your light
So you were drawn
to stories early on
My dreams
would light up my imagination
And you had nightmares
night and day
Yeah but with the clicker
I chased those frights away
Who knew
So true
So here is a clue of
hope to remember
Visions they come true
obeying the light switch too
Show me
the Champion of Light
I'll show you
the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface
Ohhh
And all your stories
of crime and chilling thrillers
of hard-boiled killers
became bestsellers
It was all too much
I had to get away
The story's the end-all
a piece of true fiction
Made meaningless in the
face of creation
But there is more to it
than meets the eye
I never meant for it
to ruin my life that way
Would you say you
lived a jaded lie
Dark shades could
never save the day
So sad
But true
Fighting the nightmares
torch and a light switch
A gift or a curse
A reality
made of dreams
Show me
the Champion of Light
I'll show you
the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface
Ohhh
He could write a new story
like Tom Zane before him
And maybe they'd be happy
once again
Just one shot
one more chance
for him to save their marriage
Away from the city
a romantic getaway
Still he's the torchbearer
and it couldn't be much clearer
A war needs its warrior
true and right
The darkness within him
held her hostage
Had he seen her drowning
would have saved her from
the darkness of the lake
Show me
the Champion of Light
Oh I'll show you
the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface
Ohhh
Such a Dark Place
am I trapped in here
Is this real
I cannot remember
There was a manuscript
it held a key
A vicious cycle
I must not surrender to
Echo scenes to seek out
again and again
until I figure it out
to bring this song to its end
Show me
the Champion of Light
I'll show you
the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface
Ohhh
