Herald of Darkness (Radio Edit)

Lyrics

[Part 1: Childhood] [Verse 1: Mr. Door, Alan Wake, Odin Anderson] From what I've gathered, you grew up nice and sheltered With mama's pretty stories and your own made up furies And mama gave me a magic clicker Well yes, I think it's true and fair to say C'mon in and listen, lost words you've been missing Of the fire you're bearin', the eye of the darkness, your light [Verse 2: Mr. Door, Alan Wake, Odin Anderson] So you were drawn to stories early on? My dreams would light up my imagination And you had nightmares night and day? Yeah, but with the clicker I chased those frights away Who knew? So true So hеre is a clue of hope to rеmember Visions, they come true, obeying the light switch too [Chorus: Odin Anderson] Show me the Champion of Light I'll show you the Herald of Darkness Lost in a never-ending night Diving deep to the surface, oh [Part 2: Rise to Fame] [Verse 1: Mr. Door, Alan Wake, Odin Anderson] And all your stories of crime and chilling thrillers Of hardboiled killers became best-sellers (And the award goes to... Alan Wake!) It was all too much, I had to get away The story's the end-all, a piece of true fiction Made meaningless in the face of creation [Verse 2: Mr. Door, Alan Wake, Odin Anderson] But there is more to it than meets the eye I never meant for it to ruin my life that way Would you say you lived a jaded lie? Dark shades could never save the day So sad, but true Fighting the nightmares, torch and a light switch A gift or a curse? A reality made of dreams [Guitar Solo: Bob Balder] [Chorus: Odin Anderson, Mr. Door, Alan Wake] Show me the Champion of Light I'll show you the Herald of Darkness Lost in a never-ending night Diving deep to the surface, oh [Guitar Solo: Bob Balder]
