Here from the king's mountain view
Here from a wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan I do
On treasures and flesh, never fewBut I, I would wish it all away
If I thought I'd lose you just one dayThe devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I'd found
Dabble in all the way down
Up to my neck soon to drownBut you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me round
So I
I
I
I
I would
I would
I would
Wish this all awayPrayed like a martyr dusk to dawn
Begged like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
And got what I wanted all alongBut I
And I would
If I could
And I would
Wish it away
Wish it away
Wish it all away
Wanna wish it all away
No prize that could hold sway
Or justify my giving away
My centerSo if I could I'd wish it all away
If I thought tomorrow would take you away
You're my peace of mind, my home, my center
I'm just trying to hold on
One more dayDim my eyes
Dim my eyes
Dim my eyes if they should compromise our fulcrum
Wants and needs divide me then I might as well be goneShine on forever
Shine on benevolent sunShine on upon the broken
Shine until the two become oneShine on forever
Shine on benevolent sunShine on upon the severed
Shine until the two become oneDivided I'm withering away
Divided I'm withering away
Shine on upon the many, light our way
Benevolent sunBreathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
So as one survive
Another day and seasonSilence, legion, save your poison
Silence, legion, stay out of my way
