HIM › Lyrics › The Path

There is no turning back from this unending path of mine
Serpentine and black, it stands before my eyes
To Hell and back, it will lead me once more
It's all I have as I stumble in and out of grace

I walk through the gardens of dying light
And cross all the rivers, deep and dark as the night
Searchin' for a reason why time would've passed us by

With every step I take, the less I know myself
And every vow I break on my way towards your heart
Countless times, I've prayed for forgiveness
But Gods just laughed on my face and this path remains
Leading me into solitudes arms

I see through the darkness my way back home
The journey seems endless but I'll carry on
The shadows will rise and they will fall

And our night drowns in dawn

Amidst all the tears there's a smile
That all angels greet with an envious song
One look into strangers eyes
And I know where I belong

I walk through the gardens of dying light
And cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searchin' for a reason why time would've passed us by

And now, I see through the darkness my way back home
The journey seems endless but I'll carry on
An' the shadows will rise and they will fall

Our night drowns in dawn, yeah
The shadows they rise and they fall
Oh yeah, and our night drowns in dawn
