Balance Slays the Demon - Old Gods of Asgard

(Deep in the ocean of darkness

In the mirror of light

Balance becomes a stranger

And in your fantasies

He writes a storm on your peace

Beyond the shadow you settled for

There is a miracle illuminated)

Deep in the ocean of darkness

In the mirror of light

Balance becomes a stranger

And in your fantasies

He writes a storm on your peace

Wake up and smell the danger

Ever the light casts a shadow

Ever the night springs from the light

In the end, it’s never just the light you need

When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace

In the end, it’s never just the dark you seek

When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace

Find your peace

(Beyond the lake he called home

Lies a deeper darker ocean green)

Like an evil twin, feel it scratching within

Like an insane sudden raging

And his beautiful face in his leather and lace

So can’t you see the play he’s staging?

Ever the light casts a shadow

Ever the night springs from the light

In the end, it’s never just the light you need

When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace

In the end, it’s never just the dark you seek

When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace

Find your peace

(Reversed: «It will happen again, in another town, a town called Ordinary»)

In the end, it’s never just the light you need

When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace

In the end, it’s never just the dark you seek

When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace

Find your peace

(Screaming, mute darkness, descend on this frail frame!

I drown in fathomless black space, light never scratched the depths of this

domain

I see not, yet nothing could be worse than the shades my mind calls herein

Alone, at my own wake, the unraveling of reason’s skein)
