Lyrics
(Deep... within the ocean of darkness,
In the mirror of light,
Balance... becomes a stranger,
And in your fantasies, he rides a storm... on your peace.
Beyond the shadows he settled for more,
There is a miracle... illuminated.)
Deep within the ocean of darkness, in the mirror of light,
Balance becomes a stranger,
And in your fantasies he rides a storm on your peace,
Then wake up and smell the danger,
Even the light cast a shadow,
Even the night springs from the light,
In the end, it's never just the light you need,
When balance slays the demon, you'll find peace,
In the end, it's never just the dark you seek,
When balance slays the demon, you'll find peace,
(Find the peace)
(Beyond the lake he called home, lies a deeper darker ocean green)
Like an evil twin feeling, scratch and within, like an insane sovereign ranger,
And his beautiful face in his leather lace,
Can't you see the placed danger?
Even the light cast a shadow,
Even the night springs from the light,
In the end, it's never just the light you need,
When balance slays the demon, you'll find peace,
In the end, it's never just the dark you seek,
When balance slays the demon, you'll find peace,
(Find the peace)
In the end, it's never just the light you need,
When balance slays the demon, you'll find peace,
In the end, it's never just the dark you seek,
When balance slays the demon, you'll find peace,
(Find the peace)
Yeah.

Trivia
- Night Springs is heard in the song, but not as if they were talking about the television show.
- In the song, you hear the words "Beyond the lake he called home, lies a deeper darker ocean green". These are the exact same words Thomas Zane told Alan in his dream in Episode 1: Nightmare.
