The following is the short version of "The Edge of Dawn".

> Reach for my hand,
> 
> I'll soar away
> 
> Into the dawn
> 
> Oh, I wish I could stay
> 
> Here in cherished halls,
> 
> In peaceful days
> 
> I fear the edge of dawn
> 
> Knowing time betrays
> 
> Daylights pass through colored glass
> 
> In this beloved place
> 
> Silver shines, the world dines
> 
> A smile on each face
> 
> As joy surrounds, comfort abounds
> 
> and I can feel I'm breaking free
> 
> For just this moment lost in time.
> 
> I am finally me
> 
> Yet still I hide
> 
> Behind this mask that I have become
> 
> My blackened heart
> 
> Scorched by flames of a force I can't run from
> 
> I look to you
> 
> Like a red rose
> 
> Seeking the sun
> 
> No matter where it goes
> 
> I long to stay,
> 
> Where the light dwells
> 
> To guard against the cold
> 
> That I know so well

I have been wondering what are the rules of punctuation in song lyrics. I feel like the use of comma seems to be a bit inconsistent in song lyrics and they never seem to use dots. So could someone tell me if there are indeed rules and what they are? I am asking, because you could put commas in more places in the lyrics, but the person who wrote it didn't and I would like to know why.
