They laugh
The cloak sways
Wind rippling in the cloth
Starlight guides
The path broken

 The shadows dance

Fear fills as you stumble
Air is thick with hopelessness
Choke back the tears

Run, run blind
Make the path
Be the starlight

The shadows dance
They laugh
Push through
Destroy the darkness
Destroy them
Your true potential become
