Am                       G
Close my eyes, I cannot see
Bb              Am
Sudden blindness upon me
                         G
This ray of light is so unknown

Bb                    Am Bb Gm  A
From womb of darkness I am born
Dm        Am     Gm       Bb
Lift the veil of shade forever
Dm      C             Bb    Gm
Like a candle that's within me
A
I receive the gift of sight
Dm
And rise!

Like a never ending sin
                                   G
Paint these walls with crimson light
Bb                            Bb
The phoenix now is taking flight

"Hades who rules there shall

Like the snow that brings December
D         C         Bb   Gm   A         D
I am the spark that sets the flame of truth alight

And fight!
Dm                                  C
And this life is the pain of being born

I sing before you all
