Revival August Burns Red

This incident was an invitation to a new beginning
I must admit defeat and submit to the truth that is here
The darkness has stricken me with fear

I've been slipping
This time I finally fell
I'm defying the rails on the stairway to hell
There are problems and then there's rock bottom
I think I've finally made my entrance
I need to snap out of this trance
And pray for a chance
Suffering will gain me sight

Teach me to see in the night
Teach me to see in the night
I'm no longer simply existing
I'm pursuing a new mission

I've been torched too many times
So when the sun fades into the night
My fears start to rise
I've turned away too many times
When the shadows come to life
I'll look them square in the eyes

How do I recognize if I am fine or terrified (terrified)?
Now I realize everything that always lead to my demise
