Lyrics Balance Slays the Demon - Old Gods of Asgard

Balance Slays the Demon

(Deep in the ocean of darkness
In the mirror of light
Balance becomes a stranger
And in your fantasies
He writes a storm on your peace
Beyond the shadow you settled for
There is a miracle illuminated)
Deep in the ocean of darkness
In the mirror of light
Balance becomes a stranger
And in your fantasies
He writes a storm on your peace
Wake up and smell the danger
Ever the light casts a shadow
Ever the night springs from the light
In the end, it’s never just the light you need
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
In the end, it’s never just the dark you seek
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
Find your peace
(Beyond the lake he called home
Lies a deeper darker ocean green)
Like an evil twin, feel it scratching within
Like an insane sudden raging
And his beautiful face in his leather and lace
So can’t you see the play he’s staging?
Ever the light casts a shadow
Ever the night springs from the light
In the end, it’s never just the light you need
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
In the end, it’s never just the dark you seek
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
Find your peace
(Reversed: «It will happen again, in another town, a town called Ordinary»)
In the end, it’s never just the light you need
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
In the end, it’s never just the dark you seek
When balance slays the demon, you’ll find peace
Find your peace
(Screaming, mute darkness, descend on this frail frame!
I drown in fathomless black space, light never scratched the depths of this
domain
I see not, yet nothing could be worse than the shades my mind calls herein
Alone, at my own wake, the unraveling of reason’s skein)
