I Saved The World Tonight

I saved the world tonight
I wished I may
So all are born
To nothing more
Than sweet delight

In paralytic fright
I reached the root
And pulled the thorn
The deepest wound
Exhumed to light

Our final sin redeemed
In scarlet flood
From crystal core
To every star
Just like we dreamed

Now emptiness alights
Inside my veins
My spirit drains
And shadows steal the light

I saved the world, all is right
The promise sealed in prism light

I saved the world, all is right
A flock of blackbirds takes to flight

I saved the world, all is right
The children dream in sweet delight

I saved the world, all is right
I fall to sleep in endless night
