A/N: ."Gläubiger" is German for "believer." This is written from the point of view of the X-Man Nightcrawler, who is (c) Stan Lee.
The light burns.
Snakes and spurns, stakes and urns,
We've all learned how light burns.
What is a demon?
I don't see one when I look in the mirror.
Am I blind?
Shadows conspire.
Snares and mires, funeral pyres,
No survivors.
But they forget there's good in the night,
That darkness gives sight beyond sight.
They just run.
Never even coming close enough
To try to make a connection.
Will they ever stop fearing the unknown?
Will we ever stop being alone?
O Lord, will I ever stop being so alone?
In the sunset of day I pray
In the patterns cast by stained glass...
One candle sways gently.
Someone still believes
that light can glow and shadows bloom.
One candle sways gently.
I still believe
that light can glow and shadows bloom.
Light glows and shadows bloom.
