The Killing Joke

Different like day and night
On a beam of light we'll walk
Where sanity is just a step away
From our demise
You'll go first, I'll come behind
And what divided us is made of glass
And ties two laces never meant to align
I never left my private place
Not without a mask
Never been to the edge
Out of my control
Time is of the essence
So I'm ready to go
And leave it all behind
We will leave this place at night
In the moonlight all the fears
Will seem like fragile dreams
When seen in a different light
Said it once, I'll say it twice
I can't use your help as it's too late
For you to save my soul
I swear no pride
We will leave this place at night
In the moonlight all the fears
Will seem like fragile dreams
When seen in a different light
We will leave this place at night
When in the moonlight all the fears
Will seem like fragile dreams
We'll break through to the other side
I'm the ghost and you're the child
Where you end, I start
As we're forever tied
I'll haunt you till the end of time
We will leave this place at night
In the moonlight all the fears
Will seem like fragile dreams
When seen in a different light
We will leave this place at night
When in the moonlight all the fears
Will seem like fragile dreams
We'll break through to the other side
