Not knowing where to turn, I run towards the light

The walls around me start to burn, the flames of hell begin to ignite

I can hear the demons coming, I can see the weapons in their hands

The Devil is just behind them, holding the head of a religious man

The light ahead begins to fade, all my hope slowly dies

The creatures seem to be gaining ground, then I hear my loved ones cries

They are calling for me, willing me to make it through

And the eyes of a loving strange, are watching over me too

When I think I will not make it, a voice speaks inside my head

"The Light is your salvation", was all that it had said

So I ran even faster, towards peace & serenity

I could hear the Devil laughing, the closer he got to me

I felt the claws of a demon, but never once looked back

Instead I just kept running, from the Devil and his pack

They were the most ferocious of creatures, they always got their prey

But this would be the one time, a prisoner would get away

The closer to the light I got, the farther the Devil seemed

He knew better than to cross the path, of the light of those redeemed

Almost there, not long now, until I would make it through

I was all alone and running towards a life that promise to be true

I stepped inside the light and saw all my family and friends

I was finally at home, at peace with myself, my suffering brought to an end

I dropped to my knees, folded my hands, and I began to pray

Thank you Jesus, Thank you God, for showing me the way
