Into The Light - Snog

In the secret halls they made

With violence as their trade

Behind curtain, beyond charade

In whispers, they say

Pain, you’ve seen it all

You stagger and fall

But after the fight

You’re into the light

The deeper you go

The further you get

Try as you might

You’re into the light

The carrot and the stick

The walls, so thick

The prison of today

With malice, they say

Out of night that covers me

Black as the pit from pole to pole

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody but unbowed

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horror of the shade

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid

It matters not how straight the gate

How charged with punishments the scroll

I am the master of my fate

And I am the captain of my soul
