Now the storm has finally passed I'll let go of all that's lost And hold on to what is left Just leave me in peace and take all the rest But I've made it this far now I've made is safe and sound There's a time to run and a time to hide When that time had come, I left behind A destructive force with me in its sights I did what I did to survive Now I've got a match ready to ignite The history of another life I pray this fire is a guide As ashes scatter and embers rise One of many things I've learned Through the time, tears, miles, and hurt Is that good will preserve life Evil destroys it but won't let it die Which is how I've made it this far now There's a time to run and time to hide When that time had come, I left behind A destructive force with me in its sights I did what I could to survive Now I've got a match ready to ignite The memories of another life I hope these words can be a guide As ashes scatter and embers rise The devil can be beautiful What you want to hear is what he'll say But his hidden end goal Is to break you down and isolate And assume complete control Leave you hopeless and afraid But if death's gripping your soul Have faith, you can escape There's a time to hide and a time to run Away from a night that never dawns From endless fights that leave you numb From distorted definitions of love Now, dancing flames in the sky Provide a warmth in the night The signal fire is alight As ashes scatter and embers rise
