Lyrics

All bright things have shadow sides Gilded kingdoms are illusion To be forgiven is to know divine love Proud religion is delusion I'm a world away from enlightened More than a stone's throw from the truth I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies But I'll hold the lantern high for you I'll hold the lantern high for you I have stumbled down dark streets Too drunk to know the danger Too blind to tell a demon from an angel Or a lover from a stranger I'm a world away from enlightened More than a stone's throw from the truth I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies But I'll hold the lantern high for you I'll hold the lantern high for you Scratching at the ocean floor No hope to fix your eyes on Then suddenly you're breathing underwater Behold the luminous horizon I'm a world away from enlightened More than a stone's throw from the truth I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies But I'll hold the lantern high for you I'll hold the lantern high for you
