Stay in the Light - Lyrics - Uli Jon Roth

Uli Jon Roth is a German guitarist and one of the earliest contributors to the neo-classical metal genre. He is also the founder of Sky Academy and inventor of the Sky Guitar. He is the older brother of fellow guitarist and artist Zeno Roth.

When the guns fall silent And the birds of war have flown When the sounds of death and violence Are no more - take me home... When my heart is pining For the choice of yesterday And your love alone is shining Let me stay, let me stay... Stay in the Light Of the one who was there before the night Stay in the light Of the one who was there to bind the might Of the one who was To conquer the night all alone Alone... What can I rely on? There's an empty cup of hope And a bed of nails to lie on Cannot cope - I can't cope... When my ship is sinking And my eyes are going blind When this bitter cup I'm drinking Never mind - never mind... When my soul is crying For the lives long lost in time When my only hope is dying Give me time - give me time... Stay in the light Of the one who was there before the night Stay in the light Of the one who is there to give sight Of the one who is there to conquer the night all alone - alone All alone - we're all alone Gotta turn back home tonight to Chris alone The truth be known - May Your Kingdom come!
