Let Go of Me by Michael Mott, Jeremy Jordan, In The Light Ensemble Lyrics

[SCHOLARS, whispered]
Johann, you betrayed us. Johann, how could you? Johann...Johann...

[JOHANN, spoken]
God in Heaven...

[ETHEREAL VOICE, sung]
Ahhh...

[JOHANN, sung]
What is this wall rising so tall?
Voices of burning scholars?
Crying my name, I was the same but shunned them

Should I jump in? Let it begin;
Sear me until I'm worthy
There they all lurk, flashing my work before me

So calmly, gently
I'll step inside and turn to dust, then let go of me
[SCHOLARS, whispered]
Johann...Johann...Johann...

[ETHEREAL VOICE, sung]
Ahhh...

[JOHANN, sung]
How do they burn? I want to learn
How I can reach their stature
Biting the air without a care or worry

Look at them fly joining the sky
Ready to touch its beauty
Knowing their place in its embrace forevеr

So somehow, some way
The light could hold mе
As I learn to let go of me

My faithful loving wife, what if you don't return?
How could I continue on?
I should have burned!
Now I will burn!

Look at this flame, how we're the same
Now I will dance will demons
Here face to face, I will embrace the darkness
Soon in a flash turn into ash
Rising into the heavens
Learning to fly, saying goodbye forever

Then calmly, gently
My soul will finally be at peace

Yes, somehow, some way
This burning flame reveals my fate
To let go of me
