Elegy

See what this life became
To see the ending of this day that fades away
Everything has come before me
See now there's nothing gained
A lie that spawned from elder ways won't fade away
What is left, for us to take?

It was a lie we knew so well
It was a sign that came to all
See the last to die, bitter was the end
He was a picture left to fade
But he prayed for better days
Watch a simple man, rise to us and say.

And we take this lie it's a whole new way
As we came to life, as we fade away
But for all we strive, nothings left, to feel the dust that we became
Mine is the last endeavour
Mine is the last endeavour
To feel the dawning of new day
I lapse into your ways.

This wretched serenade, you sang it to me every day, I shy away
Everything that came before me
I see what I can be now
Your hold on me will fade tonight, I come to life
I will rise, to watch you fall.

Another lie we knew so well, as I fade now fall now (we came to life)
bitter was the end
Another picture left to fade
But he prayed for better days
Watch a simple man, rise to us and say.

My spirit bound by moonlight
These eyes deny this past life.
