Staring at an orange gloom

To a light far away

Shadows of the night

Crawling over the shoulders

Of the one who wonders

Street lights igniting desire

The thought of running free

Is brought down by fear

But a hope stares him in the face

To give up now rips him to shreds

As he runs he pulls at the flesh

That holds him to this world

To escape is the stars above

Laughing loudly above

Power that lingers grips the darkness

Becoming light to a world

Beyond his mind

"A new world!", he screams

Bouncing and jolting

Towards the orange gloom

Defiance and perseverance rain

Never forgetting what he had

Until he falls into the ground

That brought life to so many

But devours him

To take everything

Fighting he rips free

Allowing dreams to be real

A king he has become

Destined to roam free

Like before.
