Lyrics to Vis Vires

I feel the color draining from my face

As if I've seen a ghost

In place of my existence

In urgency, I look to my reflection

Only to see myself

As pale as the white noise that deafens me



This cannot be (this cannot be)

Is this the other side

Should I fear that there's no turning back?

Is this the end? (Is this the end?)

I feel the cold embrace

An icy touch that slithers down my spine



And I won't give in

I'll summon up the strength to overcome

I'm here, still holding on

To everything that I hold close (and I know)

And I know I have the strength to overcome

To overcome

I will prevail



I hear the siren song, and though it sounds so sweet

I know it's tempting, but I know where I should be

I will press on

I just can't let it all slip away

And like the flick of a brush

I splash the color back onto my canvas



Is this reality?

Is this the other side?

Through struggle I'll make it back alive

And though it seems I'm at wit's end

My will is burning deep within

I feel the warmth return to me
