[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well, I crossed the river, fell into the sea
Where the non-believers go beyond belief
Then I scratched the surface in the mouth of hell

Where the ever after is in the hands of fate
[Chorus]
Well I, I just wanna see the light
And I, I don't wanna lose my sight
Well I, I just wanna see the light
And I need to know what's worth the fight
[Instrumental Outro]
