Ancient Soul

[Verse I:]
So it takes my hand and drags me
Down beneath the golden lake
Pulling me deeper into darkest night.

The sting of salt burns my eyes
Filling my [?]
Oh let me have eternal rest.

[Pre-Chorus I:]
[?] light fails to guide my way
Blackness is suffocating.

[Chorus:]
Walk through the cavern to the light
Hold me, it sets my heart to fright
Across the horizon, soul aglow.

I fight my way through salt [and snare?]
In desperate hope, I'll find you there
And you can stir my ancient soul.

[Verse II:]
Now through the dark comes the light
A shining glimpse of hope
I feel the earth upon my hands and knees.

I stumble forward through the gloom
Towards the silver starlight
They're killing me to calm their god.

[Pre-Chorus II:]
Walking this path I've walked before
Watching the storm come rolling in
Illuminate the only door
The mourning bells are tolling.

[Bridge:]
I feel the fire burning in my fate
As a sword towards the sun
Dance around me [?]
Threaten me, to pull me down.

[Verse III:]
My [?] heart in your hands
[?] in sunlight
And now I know I'll find my way.

[Pre-Chorus III:]
Fall into fields of sunlit snow
Tear off the mask and see me.
