(Verse 1)
We heard the whisper in the steel-gray hall,
Like razor prayers scratching up the wall.
A shadow breathing where the bright ones fall,
And silence laughing at the captain’s call.
No radar blinking, no alarms to cry,
Just empty stars and something slipping by.
A voice of knives beneath the vacuum sky,
And fear that doesn’t even ask you why.
(Pre-Chorus 1)
It touched his arm — the current bled,
The spark went dark, the life went dead.
A hunter made of smoke and dread,
And every light inside us fled.
(Chorus)
So let there be light, let the darkness burn,
We’re not gonna die while the shadows return.
We cage it in beams, make the nightmare learn,
When the night comes close… we make it earn.
Let there be light, hear the monster scream,
You feed in the dark like a sight unseen.
Aether in our hands like a violent dream,
And we won’t go down in your killing scheme.
(Verse 2)
A ship of corpses drifting cold and wide,
A hard black line of death out in the tide.
Airlocks open like the grave’s invite,
And something hungry walking deep inside.
Plasma fired but it passed right through,
Like shooting prayers at a ghost untrue.
Then Talonor fell and the terror grew,
And Jack just whispered, “What the hell do we do?”
(Pre-Chorus 2)
It drinks the volts, it drains the breath,
It steals the spark, it kisses death.
But something in the crystal’s depth
Still held the line… still had some left.
(Chorus)
So let there be light, let the darkness burn,
We’re not gonna die while the shadows return.
We cage it in beams, make the nightmare learn,
When the night comes close… we make it earn.
Let there be light, hear the monster scream,
You feed in the dark like a sight unseen.
Aether in our hands like a violent dream,
And we won’t go down in your killing scheme.
(Bridge)
It flinched at the end… was it fear?
Was it living? Was it real? Was it here?
Do we kill what we don’t understand,
Or just hold the line with a shaking hand?
But survival sings in a savage tone,
And space don’t care who dies alone…
(Final Chorus)
So let there be light, let the void ignite,
We drove back the beast on a blade of bright.
Airlock opens up — goodbye, goodnight,
You wanted our souls… now you’re out of sight!
Let there be light, let the engines sing,
Back from the dark like a wounded king.
You came for the spark, you came for everything,
But we are the fire… there’s no extinguishing!
(Outro)
So let it drift… into the endless black,
A hunger denied — it won’t come back.
We breathe again, but we understand…
The dark is alive beyond our land.
And if it returns from the starless sea,
It won’t find silence… it’ll find me.
So let there be light…
Let there be light…
Let there be… light…
