The Last Pale Light in the West Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In my hands, I hold the ashes
In my veins, black pitch runs
In my chest, a fire catches
In my way, the setting sun
Dark clouds gather 'round me
To the West, my soul is bound
Well, I will go on ahead, free
There's a light yet to be found
[Chorus]
The last pale light in the West
The last pale light in the West
[Verse 2]
And I ask for no redemption
In this cold and barren place
Still, I see a faint reflection
So by it, guide my way
[Chorus]
The last pale light in the West
The last pale light in the West
