Ville Valo
The Path
[Verse 1]
There is no turning back
From this unending path of mine
Serpentine and black
It stands before my eyes
To hell and back
It will lead me once more
It's all I have
As I stumble in and out of grace

[Chorus 1]
I walk through the gardens
Of dying light
And cross all the rivers deep
And dark as the night
Searching for a reason why
Time would've passed us by

[Verse 2]
With every step I take
The less I know myself
And every vow I break
On my way towards your heart
Countless times, I've prayed
For forgiveness
But gods just laugh at my face
And this path remains
Leading me into solitude's arms
[Chorus 2]
I see through the darkness
My way back home
The journey seems endless
But I'll carry on
The shadows will rise
And they will fall
And our night drowns
In dawn

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Amidst all the tears, there's a smile
That all angels greet with an envious song
One look into stranger's eyes
And I know where I belong

[Chorus 1]
I walk through the gardens
Of dying light
And cross all the rivers deep
And dark as the night
Searching for a reason why
Time would've passed us by
[Chorus 2]
Oh, I see through the darkness
My way back home
The journey seems endless
But I'll carry on
The shadows will rise
And they will fall
And our night drowns
In dawn

[Bridge]
The shadows, they rise and they fall, yeah
And the night drowns in dawn

[Guitar Solo Outro]
