V1
It's all over with Master
I see the script he follows, he's an actor
I am raw and genuine
Those pretenders getting in
Turn me from the sun
Till it's the dark of you l face
Betray my insides scream to run
You have to start.. to come last
And whilst that whistle was a blast
l didn't even know this was a race
I'm falling falling falling shoes unlaced
C
Fade into the light
I have failed at life
I see it pass me by
Through the tears that blind
I failed at being me
There's not much more to see
Unless you're looking for a natural disaster
No happy ever after
Fade into the light
V2
It's a winning beginning
I see the path to follow, no more sinning
You say you don't hate anything
But l have seen the webs you spin
Better when you're wet with them
Slick across that handsome evil mouth
Just trying to catch a quiet little mouse
l have slipped beneath your rim
Seen the murky depths you swim
With no soul you can't tame your vermin
You can't control the stirring
C
Fade into the light
I have failed at life
I see it pass me by
Through the tears l cry
I failed my family
So beautifully
For l am such a natural disaster
No happy ever after
Fade into the light
Fade into the age
The somewhat gilded cage
Where singing stays your only true freedom
Evil takes what evil offers
But Good will take a pass
It knows on the other side
Someone's mown the grass
So Fade into the light

Powerful stuff. It works well as poetry, with all those complex, brooding images, but it definitely has the shape and rhythm of a song .
