Striven (feat. Marko Saaresto)

Like a flickering light
 Guiding through a dark room
 Like a terminal mind
 Set off forevermore hopeful
 This vision dances in my head
 And I toy with the notion
 Of walking into the fire
 To revel in my emotion
 There's no telling what lies ahead
 I've bid farewell to my shadow friends
 For something else that's worth more in the end
 There's a difference between the buried and the planted
 Candles and all prayers for those left stranded
 No matter the cost
 Despite the worst odds
 There is a distance I must go
 This moment is all that I control
 All that I control is here and now
 Soul searching
 Reaching deep within me
 Solely relying on the wings of fate to carry me
 With my head in my hands
 My soul remains unawakened
 Cut out the noise and set your mind in motion
 There's a difference between the buried and the planted
 Candles and all prayers for those left stranded
 No matter the cost
 Despite the worst odds
 There is a distance I must go
 This moment is all that I control
 All that I control is here and now
 Clearing the day
 Rearranging
 Shaping everything
 I found the way
 For the self to resonate
 With the clarity of an open sky
 Navigating now by the stars aligned
 With serenity, steely-eyed
 Fueled by the burning lust for life
 There's a difference between the buried and the planted
 Candles and prayers for those left stranded
 No matter the cost
 Despite the worst odds
 There is a distance I must go
 This moment is all that I control
 All that I control is here and now
 There is no telling what lies ahead
 Some things I just can't pretend
 I've bid farewell to my shadow friends
 For something else worth more in the end
