lyrics

coming back from heaven
ended up in hell
ever since it’s been hard to tell
I’m climbing up because I think I fell
but sometimes it’s hard to tell…

I was fighting with an angry ghost
with foil and fire and a bitter smoke
and nothing inside
not even a lie…
I had a dream that I wasn’t asleep
felt my life dissolve like steam
and come raining down
from misty eyes…

Yeah! We are nothing but light!
So why can’t we just let it shine?!

I followed Virgil to the gates of hell
looked inside and I rang the bell
I’ve got nothing to lose not even the blues…
Abandon all hope y’all that enter here,
there’s nothing but past and future fears
it’s not happening now, no not right now!

Yeah! We are nothing but light!
So why can’t we just let it shine?!
‘cause you and I will never make it through the night…

I have been to the mountain top
rose with the sun and went ‘round the clock
and I can see for miles and miles and miles

Yeah! We are nothing but light!
So why can’t we just let it shine?!
‘cause you and I will never make it through the night…

We met in heaven
ended up in hell
sometimes it’s been hard to tell
keep on climbing ‘cause we think we fell
but sometimes it’s hard to tell
it’s like we’re under a spell…
