Neon Cross by SwANSoul

This anonymously posted video has pretty accurate lyrics. Neon Cross placed 8th in the 2009 Galaxy of Stars Songwriting Contest. Lyrics: A wounded soul shuffled through the night, guarding his eyes against the passing lights; found the alley where it left the street, aching from his back to his weary feet. His pain followed him into the dark, stabbed it with a needle, covered up the scars. He used to be a man, used to have his own name, in a place where someone loved him, but they were just too far away. And as he wondered how to end this fight, turned a corner, and stepped into the light...of a neon cross that split the sky on the darkest night of his whole life; and on that corner he finally found room enough to lay all his troubles down...stepped out of the dark to where the pathway shone, and let this ray of neon hope guide him home...A backlit doorway held the silhouette of a woman in the arms of death, a broken angel torn apart again by a promise broken at the hands of men...the song she whispered of a lover kind silenced fractures in her shattered mind; and as the darkness came to draw her in again, familiar blade cold against her skin...the clean white beam dancin' on her breath, calling louder than the voice of death...was a neon cross that split the sky on the darkest night of her whole life; and in that moment she finally found a safe place to lay all her troubles down...stepped out of the dark to where the pathway shone and let this ray of neon hope guide her home...regardless of who we are, sometimes we're wanderin' through the dark; so when you find yourself lost in the night, offer up a prayer as you lift your eyes...to the neon cross that splits the sky (it's been there shinin' the entire time) until you've seen its light and finally found a place where you could lay all your troubles down...step out of the dark so you're not alone, and let its ray of neon hope guide you home...step out of the dark and into the light
