Strain of Chaos - The Lighthouse

While travelling the oceans, you may fall back on me
I'm standing out there, waiting, lighting the way for you to flee
And through the blackened sea, I was there to help you find
The way back to the land
But there's no one turning back

But I, I gave you everything you've got
You forgot?
I was the only one there for you!
How could you go?

I'm but a lighthouse, giving my light for the ships to sail away
I'm but a tree, where birds rest and fly away
I'm but a savior, to rescue you from your decay
I'm but a friend, standing on the coast eternally and wait

While sailing in a dreamworld, you may find me again
And through the dark and stormy sea, still trying to heal the pain

But I, I gave you everything you've got
How could you go?
I was the only one there for you!
You gave me nothing in the end
"Be my friend..."
I gave you everything I've got
"I'm leaving now..."

I'm but a lighthouse, giving my light for the ships to sail away
I'm but a tree, where birds rest and fly away
I'm but a savior, to rescue you from your decay
I'm but a friend, standing on the coast eternally and wait

"I was raised on a rock
Only to prevent the ships from crashing on me
My darkness inside is too much for them to take
So, I wait here, safe, within a prison of myself

I stare at the beauty of the ocean, alone
Oh God, please release my soul
Break these walls of misery
I don't need this life anymore
Take me home..."

The earth has started shaking, the waves are growing wild
The ocean hides the stormy sky and crashes on the wall

I'm but a lighthouse, giving my light for the ships to sail away
I'm but a tree, where birds rest and fly away
I'm but a savior, to rescue you from your decay
I'm but a friend, standing on the coast eternally and wait

The lighthouse is collapsing, the dove is flying free
And from the ruins of its death, is growing now a tree.
