When a Shadow Is Forced Into the Light Songtext
von Swallow the Sun

Inside the night
There′s a firelight
Between the worlds
At the edge of dark

Inside the fire
There's a blinding light
The flame that burns
Between the worlds
At the edge of the dark

When a shadow is forced into the light
It rips through your chest
And burns like a fire

When a shadow
Is forced into the light
And the blood of the serpents
Will burst under brightest stars

And the wings will carry these shadows and the light
And the scars like diamonds will cut
Through the veil of night


The clouds apart
And new stars alight
Between the worlds
In the sea of the sky

The sun and moon
Shines from your eyes
Lead me home
Through the map of skies
From the edge of the night

When a shadow (when a shadow)
Is forced into the light
It rips through your chest
And burns like a fire

When a shadow (when a shadow)
Is forced into the light
And the blood of the serpents
Will burst under brightest stars

And the wings will carry these shadow and the light
And the scars like diamonds will cut
Through the veil of night

At the edge of the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark
At the heart of the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark
At the edge of the dark


Where I stare night straight in the eye
And the demons of deep will arrive
From the wounds they bleed out their
Black blood like oil
And I spark the flame of the night
And I will melt these chains, and forge them as a crown
Drag those shadows to the light
From the heart of the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark)
At the edge of the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark
From the edge

When a shadow (when a shadow)
Is forced into the light
It rips through your chest
And burns like a fire

When a shadow (when a shadow)
Is forced into the light
And the blood of the serpents
Will burst under brightest stars
