LYRICS:

The Lighthouse (dark before dawn)

Where is the light after the darkness,
Deepest dark before dawn,
Always struggling to find happiness
Through adversity we have grown,

On the fringes of society
Like a monolith watching the sea,
Before the capsizing waves,
Our minds must endure the tumult

In the twilight seal your fate,
Recognize your defying strength,
Your soul is unbreakable,
No force on the world can equate
Eden is an ideal premise to which we wish to escape,
Make it ourselves upon the earth,
Turn the world around,

chorus :

shine like a beacon, strength of a thousand suns,
A lighthouse in the dark,
Guiding all those weary souls,
Home through the storm
This is the Dark Before dawn
