Witness Lyrics

can someone hiding from sunlight
get tired of a morning star
does the abyss become deeper
when you touch its ground
what is the value of a love
when any hate seems stronger
when noone is listening
no silence can be broken

do I dare to dream without fear
did I ever breathe and not need more
can I accept being guilty
although I am innocent
am I the light when there is darkness
or is it me who shatters love and hope
where am I
there is no peace or calm
would I rest if there were

no – for my ruin has been laid within me
and black is its disguise
wandering on plains of ice so thin
under which the witness lies
even if the world would stop turning
I could not forget this poisoned river

it is within me now this water
flowing gently
slowly burning
created in awe and bred from chaos
noone is safe here from drowning
I was a witness to the death of light
I should not have seen
still it is there telling me things
I do not want to know

there is no light down here
no more here
I want to be
