about

China (then Curtiss) wrote this song in the early '00's and added it to her debut album, Gamma Gray. This song is about the knife-edge we all walk between darkness and light.

lyrics

Take my hand, hold it ever so gently
Lullaby, rock me like a child.
I brace myself against the cold, the tired world is growing old
I cannot reconcile this chaos.
There is less pleasure without the measure of painful memory
Without the darkness we won't know the light.

All this violence inside us, like a demon tryin' to ride us down the
pathway of hatred, image shattered shame.
Now we're halfway to heaven, halfway to hell
this moment stands out silver,
A nickel in a wishing well.

Burn me slow, torturous blow
suffering yields the greener fields
And as i touch temptation's table
laid rich with guilty fable
I cannot overcome desire
can't stop this whirling dervish, can't make it end
pull me out, push me in, redemption begin!

All this violence inside us, like a demon tryin' to ride us down the
pathway of hatred, image shattered shame.
Now we're halfway to heaven, halfway to hell
this moment stands out silver,
A nickel in a wishing well.

Won't you reach Your hand into mine,
lead me on and guide me toward the light
toward the truth
oh anything I ever knew
now we're halfway to hatred, halfway to love
His peace comes down so sudden
like the landing
of a silver dove.
