Into the Light
The Prophecy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are forever losing the fight
You are lost in damnation, a murderous cry
Till the silence comes
Takes you down, into the ground
Where you lay...
Rotting forever
You're a lie, you stand alone
Your silence will not atone
For sins ingrained now so deep in your soul
Relief denied you, till the silence unfolds...

Within your soul, a sight to behold
In dead Earth...
Linger forever
In silence profound
A deep abyss that swallows you now
A final release, tranquility found
Your time at hand!

All these empty words whispered
Thoughts inside your head
Telling you to leave this place
There's nothing to be said
Take a long look around
There's nothing for you here
So say your last goodbyes
As into the flame you fly
Stare into the light just one more time
As into the flame you fly
It takes me higher and higher
Ss into the flame you fly
Burning so bright, this incandescent light
Vanishing out of sight
I can see the path before me
But I don't want to die
Wait for me now
Wait for me

Step out from all this confusion
There's clarity ahead
With certain understanding
You take one final breath
Onwards you will go a certain test of faith
Stare into the light

A wash with cold hearted confusion
A look of fear in your eyes
Is it possible you're in delusion?
A bitter pill to end your life

Condemned to exist in this exile
Now you are lost among the damned
Can you exist in this fury?




When there is no end to your pain
And here you'll remain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Prophecy's song Into The Light are a haunting exploration of the human condition, specifically the struggle between good and evil that permeates our lives. The song opens with the powerful image of someone who is "forever losing the fight," lost in damnation and despair. The silence that follows is a metaphorical representation of death, taking the person down into the ground where they rot forever.


The second stanza shifts the focus to the person's soul, which is staring out of them like a sight to behold. The desolation of the earth around them is a reflection of their inner landscape, a deep abyss that swallows them up. The final release, however, brings with it a sense of tranquility and peace, as they find relief from their pain at last.


The final section of the song is a call to action, urging the listener to step out from the confusion and uncertainty of our world into the clarity of the light. Despite the fear and uncertainty that might be present, the message is clear – we must move forward, taking the final test of faith with us and continuing to stare into the light.
