Written in March 2004, one of the defining songs of the early Manticess days.
lyrics
Hasn't this been a deeply dark night?
Haven't we made it through it all right?
The shadows are fading now we've paid the price
Come along and watch the sun rise!
Blue sky, racing wind
Let me feel the freedom of the width
Golden sunshine, warm caress
Chasing the shadows out of my heart
The tears have been washed away by falling rain
Flowing waters took away all our pain
Stand up!
Hasn't this been a deeply dark night?
Haven't we made it through it all right?
The shadows are fading now we've paid the price
Come along and watch the sun rise!
Yes we've made mistakes and deserved what we got
But now we head back for the top
Mine is the strength and the power and the will
Yes I will make it
Light air, free breath
Taking the burden off my chest
Open space, crumbling walls
The path leads wherever I set my feet
The valley's been crossed, what else shall we fear?
The ascend may be hard but the danger we dare
Go on!
Hasn't this been a deeply dark night?
Haven't we made it through it all right?
The shadows are fading now we've paid the price.
Come along and watch the sun rise!
Come along and watch the sun rise!
