An Island In The Darkness Lyrics by Tony Banks

An Island In The Darkness Lyrics

    Like a fuse to the end will burn
    Like a wave when the tide has turned
    You keep on coming regardless
    You won't accept defeat

    And in the light of a cold grey dawn
    When all seemed lost and you felt so forlorn
    You sensed a warmth surround you
    And now you find you're
    No longer on your own

    It's impossible unbelievable news
    It's impossible but it's true

    You never thought you would ever be here
    You never even dared to hope you would ever be here
    In a world you used to dream of
    And watch from afar

    After all of the time gone by
    Searching fruitlessly asking why
    It's hard to stop the trying
    To truly realize

    That all the pain all that's gone before
    Lies behind and you can close the door
    In the past forever
    No need to worry
    No need to fear at all

    It's impossible unbelievable news
    It's impossible but it's true

    You never thought you would ever be here
    You never even dared to hope you would ever be here
    In a world you used to dream of
    And watch from afar


    In every minute of every hour so many dreams die
    Do you believe it will be any different this time
    This dream will last forever
    This day will never end

    Now the fog surrounds you
    Swirling all around you
    Confusing all your senses
    All you see are phantoms
    Always just out of reach
    They tantalize and beckon
    Seduce but without promise
    You don't want to be here anymore
    You don't want to be here to take it anymore
    Now the water rises
    It takes you where it will
    You cannot choose direction
    Or control the motion
    And in the end you're thrown up
    On an island in the darkness
    Nothing is familiar
    Tell me are you frightened on your own
    Do you have the will to carry on?
